Douglas Coupland’s new novel updates Microserfs for the age of Google... Full of word games, visual jokes, and sideways jabs, this book throws a sharp, pointed lawn dart into the heart of contemporary life.
"Coupland derives his satirical, spirited humor's energy from the silly, strung-together plot and thin characters." - PW.
"J is for juvenile, jaundiced, joyless, jumbled junk." - Kirkus.
