Picked this up from the Library Book Sale (Bookends South) at the Toronto Reference Library.

Picked up this second copy for release.

Mailed off this morning to inkognitoh to replace an inadvertently wild released copy :)

Thank you so much for sending this book along brewski. I'm looking forward to reading this book. I was really enjoying it before I accidentally left the copy I was reading on a train. I promise to keep a good grip on this copy :)

I don't know how Coupland manages to place his finger firmly on the pulse of the zeitgeist over and over again. Of course, this book reads as a history now and the characters he's describing have passed into cliche but he certainly nailed a period and an industry.

Throughout the story he manages to mechanise humans and humanise both machines and humans cleverly interweaving the change in family identities and work patterns.

I really enjoyed this book and am very grateful to brewski for having sent it my way after I lost the copy I initially began reading.

Caught in the meetup in Madrid from inkognitoh, to try to improve my english.
