Informazioni sull?autore
Douglas Coupland first came to prominence as the author of Generation X (1995). He followed that with a sequence of ever-more daring and inventive novels, including Life After God, Girlfriend in a Coma and Hey Nostradamus! He lives in Vancouver.
Dalla quarta di copertina
At computer giant Microsoft, Dan, Susan, Abe, Todd and Bug are struggling to get a life in a high-speed high-tech environment. The job may be super cool, the pay may be astronomical, but they're heading nowhere, and however hard they work, however many shares they earn, they're never going to be as rich as Bill. And besides, with all the hours they're putting in, their best relationships are on e-mail. Something's got to give…
"Coupland is the crowned king of North American pop culture."
NME
"Cool irony and hipster cynicism are clearly not Coupland's intentions here: from beneath the sleek, wipe-clean prose of 'Microserfs' slowly emerges a yearning for spiritual depth and permanence in a world of random misfortune and economic turbulence. Coupland has grown up with his readers, finally living up to his early promise. His most satisfying and substantial novel yet."
STEPHEN DALTON, 'Vox'
"The kooky aphoristic ripeness of Coupland's writing almost succeeds in making us forget the hollowness of these live-to-work lives. In the first 50 pages, there are more one-liners than in a decade of Woody Allen films."
ROBIN HUNT, 'Guardian'
"A funny and stridently topical novel. Coupland continues to register the buzz of his generation."
JAY McINERNEY, 'New York Times'
