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 never read Coupland, start here.

A fun, quick read. Enjoyed the jabs at company politics and corporate life. The criticisms of the book are accurate: characters a bit thin and you're left wondering what you can take away from it in terms of meaning (if you like that sort of thing). And the handful of pages listing the first 100,000 digits of pi...well, did they really have to be included? We get the point. Still worth the read since his pacing is good and it doesn't bog down much.

I found this book to be a great disappointment after reading "Hey, Nostradamus!" Unfortunately, either you "get it" or you really don't and are left to have to try to decipher the techno-geek humour.

I absolutely love Douglas Coupland's style and sense of humour and it really shines in this book. It's clever, funny and very entertaining. He does a truly good job delving into the twenty-something work culture and integrating it to the story.

Savvy, techy, good read.

Quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read. Gotta love the periodic quoting/referencing of the Simpsons going on throughout the book.

This is my most favourite book. Ever. It's uplifting, funny, disturbing and deeply nonsensical in the best sense of the word. I've read this three times in the past year, and I'll keep reading it until I die.

Great book. Read it.

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 generation's manners and lifestyle. OK, you might find that a bit scary - I certainly do. In any case, read this and enjoy. A 517-page one-day read - no kidding! No way I could put this one down. And as soon as I can, I will read everything else by this author, and buy copies for friends and family too.
