Human Stories, Machine DreamsMicroserfs - Douglas CouplandMicroserfs by Douglas Coupland is a novel that explores the lives of a group of young, tech-savvy employees working at Microsoft during the 1990s, as they navigate the challenges of work, relationships, and identity in the digital age. Through the perspective of Daniel, a programmer and self-proclaimed "microserf," the book offers a humorous and poignant commentary on the impact of technology on personal lives, the nature of corporate culture, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Blending satire and introspection, Microserfs captures the essence of a generation at the dawn of the internet age.

Colette Shade begins her book, Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on the Future That Never Was), in a period in which it was generally felt that by working in tech, you were somehow building a better tomorrow, a smarter tomorrow, and a more democr...2025-01-1545 min

Book FightEp 264: Winter of Wayback, 1995 (Douglas Coupland, Microserfs)We're halfway through the 90s, and this week we're reading a book that feels very much like a time capsule of the era: Douglas Coupland's Microserfs, his follow-up to Generation X, the novel that introduced that term into the world. In Microserfs we follow a group of twenty-something coders as they quit their jobs at Microsoft to work for a start-up company in Silicon Valley. The book explores the world of early start-up culture just a couple years before dot-com culture fully takes over the San Francisco Bay Area.

Rebellion Dogs BlogHow Baby Boomers are Holding AA back and 4 Ways to Fix ItWriter, Douglas Coupland wrote a 1990s book called Generation X and it helped dignify a generation lost in the shadow of Baby Boomers. If not for X, if not Coupland maybe there wouldn’t be a Gen Y (18 - 36-year-olds we call Millennials now) or Generation Z who make up today's teenage alcoholics and addicts. Douglas Coupland said something in the Foreword of a book that I have on order by Rosa Harris called, Boomerville: Musings on a Generation that Refuses to Go Quietly.

BookclubDouglas CouplandJames Naughtie and readers talk to Canadian author Douglas Coupland about his cult novel Generation X. First published in 1991, it became a worldwide bestseller and defined a generation. Set during a time of yuppies and youth unemployment, the characters in Generation X are all in their late 20s, highly educated but with no ambition - they work in bars, and tell each other stories. This is the novel that made 'McJob' a popular term; and looking back at the novel Douglas speaks movingly of his own struggle as he set out to be a writer.2010-03-0727 min
