I used to think Douglas Coupland’s books were funny and edgy, but now I just think he’s an asshole. His earlier novels have heart to them, but this just felt like it was banking on shock value. I get that reading these stories is supposed to be like the experience of using the internet - being inundated with constantly shifting tones and information and perspectives. But I go bored after about a third of the book; it felt like I was reading Worst Person Ever, which I couldn’t even finish.
