A review by brandnewkindof
Microserfs by Douglas Coupland

4.0

I genuinely can't believe it's been ten years since I first read this book, but apparently it has been, since I read it in the summer of 1997, right in the midst of the first web boom. It spoke to me then -- about creating your own family, about being happy versus having money and when the two intersect -- and it still resonates with me now. I can't speak to how well Coupland got the Microsoft culture, but I can speak to the fact that his sad, lonely geeks looking for love and connection reminded me of my friends then and still remind me of people I know and love.
