Author
Douglas Coupland
Douglas Coupland is the Canadian novelist and visual artist who named Generation X with his 1991 debut. Microserfs (1995), JPod (2006), Player One (2010), and the more recent Bit Rot essays have made him the closest thing English-language fiction has to a consistent observer of digital labor.
