I remember the novel being set in a somewhat dystopian near future (relative to the mid 80's!) where destruction of the ozone layer forced people to either stay indoor or wear protective clothing. There was a middle aged female character who may have been a writer that used a cyber implant located around her vocal cords to dictate to her computer by "subvocalizing" her words. This was considered a commonly used technology in the context of the novel. Sadly I don't recall the plot, the title, the author or really ANYTHING that could help me find this story!

Just a wild guess - Mona Clee's Overshoot ?– Joe L.Commented Feb 11, 2015 at 3:39

It looks like this one was published in the late 90's, which would be about a decade later than the timeframe that I remember reading this. Thanks for your suggestion though!– VTMaidCommented Feb 13, 2015 at 2:04

I think that you want David Brin's "Earth". It's been a while, but I remember everyone but "sun-worshipers" avoiding UV exposure because the ozone layer was destroyed.
