DOUGLAS COUPLAND - Jpod

Title: Jpod
Description: Paperback. Pp: 551. 'Possibly the most gifted exegete of North American mass culture writing today. JPod is without doubt his strongest, best-observed novel since Microserft, to which it is a kind of sequel` ObserverEthan and his five co-workers are marooned in JPod, a no-escape architectural limbo on the fringes of a massive game-design company. There they wage battle against the demands of bone-headed marketing staff who torture them with idiotic changes to already idiotic games. Meanwhile, Ethan`s personal life is being invaded by marijuana grow-ops, people-smuggling, ballroom dancing, global piracy and the rise of China. Everybody in both worlds seems to inhabit a moral grey zone, and nobody is exempt, not even his seemingly strait-laced parents or Coupland himself. Do you want to start play?Y/N - There is brilliance at work in JPod. Not to mention more LOLs than you could shake a bong at` LOS Angeles Times - A dazzling comic novel, confirming that there is on current form no funnier novelist writing in English` Literary Review - A wonderfully inventive book, fizzing with wit and black humour` Sunday Tribune - Blackly funny.as a chronicler of the techno-times Coupland is pretty much still out on his own` Irish Times. ISBN: 9780747589150. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
