💻Review - "Jpod" by Douglas Coupland🗣

This is a annoying Canadian novel from a decade ago about early-2000 youth culture, the rise of China and video games. It hasn't aged well, probably due to the fact that it is not good. 

The protagonist is Ethan, who works in a computer game company with Wacky coworkers and he has a wacky family. Characters do wacky things that nobody in the novel finds particularity strange. Events just happen but that isn't interesting, so the characters just discuss pointless stuff, possibly to simulate boredom (yet the novel describes the characters a super focused and working nights). It is a novel which includes a list of all three letter scrabble words and the author appears as a character. 

Everything that this novel tackles has been done better somewhere else and reading it just annoyed me.
