Paperback. Condizione: Good. Generation X is Douglas Coupland's classic novel about the generation born from 1960 to 1978 --a generation known until then simply as twenty somethings. Andy, Claire, and Dag, each in their twenties, have quit pointless jobs in their respective hometowns to find better meaning in life. Adrift in the California desert, the trio develops an ascetic regime of story-telling, boozing, and working McJobs--"low-pay, low-prestige, low-benefit, no-future jobs in the service industry." They create their own modern fables of love and death among the cosmetic surgery parlors and cocktail bars of Palm Springs as well as disturbingly funny tales of nuclear waste, historical overdosing, and mall culture. A dark snapshot of the trio's highly fortressed inner world quickly emerges--peeling back the layers on their fanatical individualism, pathological ambivalence about the future, and unsatisfied longing for permanence, love, and their own home. Andy, Dag, and Claire are underemployed, overeducated, intensely private, and unpredictable. They have nowhere to assuage their fears, and no culture to replace their anomie. ed, intensely private, and unpredictable.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A powerful, surprising, and deeply moving book. In 1988, a catastrophic episode of teen violence changes a suburban community forever. Hey Nostradamus is Douglas Coupland's keenly observant exploration of this tragic landscape. With unflinching candor and black humor, Hey Nostradamus follows various voices across two decades: the teenagers whose ordinary preoccupations with sex and spirituality will never evolve past that moment; the parents whose sudden exposure to their children's passionate underground world threatens their deepest convictions; and those who come to know the troubled survivors only later in life, who will only ever have an inkling of what really transpired. Utterly unexpected, Hey Nostradamus wrestles with religion and with sorrow and its acceptance. It will take you to a place you didn't know existed. …

Hardback. Condizione: Good. They are Microserfs--six code-crunching computer whizzes who spend upward of sixteen hours a day coding and eating flat foods (food which, like Kraft singles, can be passed underneath closed doors) as they fearfully scan company e-mail to learn whether the great Bill is going to flame one of them. But now there's a chance to become innovators instead of cogs in the gargantuan Microsoft machine. The intrepid Microserfs are striking out on their own--living together in a shared digital flophouse as they desperately try to cultivate well-rounded lives and find love amid the dislocated, subhuman whir and buzz of their computer-driven world.…
