In Douglas Coupland's writing, the doldrums of a world afflicted by the
pains of dotcom booms and busts, the ascendency of subcultures to pop
cultures, and the subsequent struggle for identity are counterbalanced
by droll, personal, and incisive analyses. This collection of nonfiction
essays provides an illuminating meander through what we call culture
today.
