Can you or someone else explain what they liked about Microserfs? I read it after hearing a recommendation for it somewhere online, but it didn’t really connect for me.

I’m young enough that I don’t have any personal knowledge of the time period to compare it with, so maybe I’m missing a nostalgia angle.

I don’t doubt that it is a great book, it just didn’t grab me for whatever reason.




I am an “old millennial” and Coupland’s work sort of resonates but my understanding is that it’s written primarily for and to gen x.
