carlosmartinez 's review for:

Microserfs by Douglas Coupland
3.0

I picked this up again after 15+ years for the sake of a bit of comfort reading. It has its charms, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I was expecting. The pop philosophy comes across as contrived and naïve, and I didn't really fall in love with the characters this time round. That said, it captures the early-90s tech zeitgeist pretty well, and is a fun novel for programmers, with a few interesting ideas.
