A great debut novel from Coupland focusing on three friends, Dag, Andy and Claire, who have dropped out and live on the margins. This book captures the essence of a disenfranchised generation who cannot see the value in the ‘Great American Dream' anymore. Coupland also coins various phrases, such as McJobs, which have passed into common use. A short novel, but immensely readable and far more sympathetic to its cast of misfits than, say, Bret Easton Ellis, who covers similar ground in his books. Thoroughly recommended.
