(2009-09-30) Kane Coupland Generation A

Pat Kane reviews Douglas Coupland's Generation A. In these Coupland captures, with some poignancy, a coming truth about our post-ConsumEr-ist age of eco-limits. It might well be that sitting around and telling stories to each other, on or offline, is one of the least costly options available to us. Generation A takes our pressing realities lightly. But in this real return to form, Coupland's playfulness is rich, educative and even consoling: we might well think, and feel, our way out of this corner.
