The book is a slow read. There is not a lot of character or story development. It is fun to read a computer book that discusses leading edge technology in the mid 1990s and think about how far we have come. I find myself smiling as they go through different situations. If you were a computer...

    A decent Coupland book, but I expected more. the characters were fun, though at times a bit too clichéd.
    The plot was shredded to bits by the protagonist's narration switching too rapidly between segments.
    Also, the end was very anti-climatic.

    So so great - but I am a bit of a computer geek and was working in I.T. when I read this.

    After reading this and Jpod., I have to say that I'm not a fan of Coupland's works.

    one of the first models that I read for Douglas Coupland - timely - came out same time as the tech boom of 2000

    I loved this book. It's quirky but kinda profound in some ways. I don't know....I just enjoyed it a lot.

    Coupland has such an amazing way with bringing these amazing random thoughts that are so provoking and beautifully written on paper....and although I haven't LOVED everything he has written, I am such a fan of his writing.
