This looks mighty interesting! Here's what amazon.com has to say:

Microserfs is not about Microsoft--it's about programmers who are searching for lives. A hilarious but frighteningly real look at geek life in the '90's, Coupland's book manifests a peculiar sense of how technology affects the human race and how it will continue to affect all of us. Microserfs is the hilarious journal of Dan, an ex-Microsoft programmer who, with his coder comrades, is on a quest to find purpose in life. This isn't just fodder for techies. The thoughts and fears of the not-so-stereotypical characters are easy for any of us to relate to, and their witty conversations and quirky view of the world make this a surprisingly thought-provoking book.

This is one of the most brilliant books I've read as of late. Exactly as mentioned in the back of this book, the story follows a group of programmers on a quest to find themselves and real LIVES. Taking the leap, the group makes the move with a programming "friend" from the Campus of Microsoft to the hamster maze 1 room office.

It's amazing how real all of these characters. Reading this, a nuber of years after it was writen, I was impressed by Coupeland's ability to predict reality to come. To boot, not only is the social commentary hysterical at times but his writing is clear, to the point, and darn entertaining.

I don't think I've ever given a book 10 but this one is well worth it. Probably one of the best books I've read this year!
