Turn-of-the-centruy

With what other (simpler) word can I replace the expression "turn-of-the-century" in this sentence. The second sentence is for the context.

It was a turn-of-the-century version of the dot-com boom.

The promise of a revolutionary new technology was changing the way people imagined the future.

The dot-com bubble was turn-of-the-century, so some other thing cannot be a turn-of-the-century version of it unless it is some other century. I'm guessing you mean something else, but I can't tell what that is.
