i read one michael Cricheton book
it was terrible. Someone in a place I worked told me to read it and I was too polite not to.

You might like Mark Chadbourne's 'World's End' series. It's in a modern setting, where the mythological world comes back to prominence and technology stops working. I've only read the first trilogy, but I think it's book 5 or 6 that me and my mates are in briefly.

I've only read Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain.
I was 14. Cut me some slack.

The "Dies the Fire" series by S. M. Stirling
is really good for that "technology stops working" schtick.

Power cuts are good for that too.

I read one when I was a teenager
that was set in modern times, but in a Britain where the Reformation didn't take place. Everything was run by the church and there was magic and allsorts going on.

I can't remember what it was called (and it was probably aimed at teenagers) but I remember it being good.

A brief search suggests it might possibly be Pavane by Keith Roberts.
If it wasn't that one, it was something similar.
