The way Coupland moulds his fiction from the throwaway debris of North American popular culture is quite brilliant; but after 12 novels it can seem a little familiar. His characters are still wondering what would happen to someone who is technically immortal but killed in an explosion: how would all the pieces come back together? And if you could take a pill to make you normal, would you do it? If there is a God, does he like people or not? Appartiene alle Collane EditorialiCBC Massey Lectures (2010) Premi e riconoscimenti
A real-time five-hour story set in an airport cocktail lounge during a global disaster. Five disparate people are trapped inside: Karen, a single mother waiting for her online date; Rick, the down-on-his-luck airport lounge bartender; Luke, a pastor on the run; Rachel, a cool Hitchcock blonde incapable of true human contact; and finally a mysterious voice known as Player One. Slowly, each reveals the truth about themselves while the world as they know it comes to an end.In the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and J. G. Ballard, Coupland explores the modern crises of time, human identity, society, religion and the afterlife. The book asks as many questions as it answers and readers will leave the story with no doubt that we are in a new phase of existence as a species and that there is no turning back.
