One of the most random stories I have ever read; loved how it didn't really go anywhere, there was just a string of events kind of randomly put together, but in a really hilarious way. Also loved how Coupland shows up and hates on Ethan.…

I love this book. It is my favourite Coupland book of all time. The story is based around some characters that work in the high-tech industry. It is a bit over-the-top, but there are many amusing truths. So so excellent. If you have…

Enjoyable wild and strange world of working for a computer company in Vancouver. Easy read and very funny.

What a read! What a ride! I'm going to go all out here and say that, odd as this book seems, I bet that in the future, people will look on this book the way that we look at Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice - as window onto one…
