The ISFDB database is aware of:
* 600 English language novels
* 114 English language collections
* 113 English language anthologies
* 1,408 English language stories/novellas
* 47 English language serial installments
which first appeared in 1968. The first three categories include translations from other languages, first appearances of retitled books/stories and first book appearances of works originally serialized in magazines.
"Zeitgeist-wise"? Well, J. G. Ballard's "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan" first appeared in 1968.
