words fail me.

I finally got my hands on JPod, and it is one of those books where I only want to read one paragraph and put it down because I want to draw it out and make it last. It’s like my prayers have been answered. It is like a remake of Microserfs, updated to reflect today’s technology and culture and an added surrealism in the plot. My heart is bursting at the pure genius of it.

Douglas Coupland is pure genius. Total fact. If you haven’t read any of his books, you must start now. Not only is he a fantastic author, but also an amazing artist of graphic design and text and pop art, as you can see in the promotional site for the book. Here is my ranking of his fiction in order from favorite to least favorite.

Microserfs/JPod

Eleanor Rigby

Generation X

Hey Nostrodamus

Shampoo Planet

All Families Are Psychotic
