I’ve read a number of Douglas Coupland’s novels, and must say that to date, have never been disappointed.  I don’t know if it’s his style, his delivery or just the subject matter that keeps me turning the pages.  He is a very powerful writer, in that he can so completely encapsulate a time and place.

jPod is no different.  This time around, he writes about a group of 20 somethings working at a game development company, having to deal with their lives, their pasts, their careers and the fact that their boss has decided he wants a turtle in their new skateboarding game (among other bizarre plot twists).
