Microserfs
Douglas Coupland
Rory noted that he enjoyed reading this book by the author of
Generation X. The story deals with a group of bright, but alienated young people who decide to break out of the Microsoft campus life and set-up on their own. Rory commented that it dealt with up-to-the-minute stuff. The book did have a lot of off putting references to American sub-culture and science and technology but it also had a number of witty aphorisms. Rory particularly liked the portrayal of the young female characters in the book. He said that he recommended this book because it was touching and funny.
Doreen added that she had read some of the technical stuff and hadn't
understood an word of it.
