I had never heard of Douglas Coupland when I picked up this book in 1995. He is, of course, the author who coined the phrase "generation X," before it became a marketing tool. I was completely enthralled by this book and I read it again right after reading it the first time. Douglas Coupland is brilliant. I couldn't believe how much I recognized the characters. I guess some of the story will seem a little quaint now, seven years later. You know, start-ups, the tech boom, venture capitalists. But of course, Coupland doesn't write about technology, he writes about people in a world in which they feel more and more removed from themselves. The book is still totally relevant.

Released on Wednesday, December 04, 2002 at DIA (Denver International Airport), gate A37 in Denver, Colorado USA.

I released this book on the 4th but wasn't able to make release notes until the 10th. I hope someone is enjoying it right now. I left it on one of the seats by the boarding gate.
