  I only read this and Girlfriend in a Coma, but I preferred Jpod. Perhaps since I read it recently after it was released...

  Indeed, I throughly enjoyed this one. I'm also a fairly big Coupland fan. It did actually remind me a bit of my research group - I'm not sure if thats a good thing?!
  
  What would people rate as his best book? Personally, its close between this one and Microserfs. I really want to get round to reading Girlfriend in a Coma.

  Yeah, I have that as well.
  
  Coupland is one of my fav authors. I met him in Copenhagen in Nov. 1995. It was very cold and a lot of snow, and the guy was freezing his ass off in a tiny retro ski jacket. I managed to talk briefly with him and he signed a few of my books.
  
  In Jpod he returns to the tech/SiliconVally genre, he started with Microserfs (also very recommendable).

  Great book by Coupland. Highly recommended to any nerds looking for good tech (but not sci-fi) fiction.

  I've often looked at this in Tower, but never had any idea what it was about...

  I've got a copy lying around that I can bring by asobooHQ sometime.
