If there were ever five people (six, seven, eight? It doesn't matter) I cared about less in a book, I can't recall them. I cannot think of one interesting fact about any of them, and I certainly wouldn't be inviting any of them around to my house for tea. Coupland is often lauded for his sharp critique of post-modernity and pop culture. It seems he was rather 'blunt' for this one. Grade: D. Could do better.
so funny. loved the writing style in this. captures the early to mid 90s dotcom boom perfectly
A great story. A deep dive into the world of tech, from the weird lifestyle at Microsoft to the weirder lifestyle in the Silicon Valley. A beautiful ending too, for such a geek out novel. This is my first Douglas Coupland and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good insight into labor conditions in tech jobs and the pressure to be on the job 24/7/365.
