"Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we've missed the chance to have had other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounds like a quiet tragedy."

"I am fueled by my embarrassment at my profoundly mistaken belief that simply living in freedom in itself guarantees the continuation of that freedom." —Douglas Coupland, Shampoo Planet

A book from 1992 has no right to be so zeitgeisty, but there's a line in Coupland's Shampoo Planet that keeps zipping ahead: "Technology favors horrible people."

@atomicpoet I think the hype over coiner #DouglasCoupland’s first novel was almost singlehandedly responsible for marketing #GenX

Been thinking a lot about #DouglasCoupland ‘s #girlfriendinacoma recently, after not thinking about it for years. Weird how #books come back sometimes. Hoping this isn’t a terrible portent of the coming #apocalypse, obviously. #bookstodon

Well, this was unexpected...
I stopped by the used book store to pick up a couple more Douglas Coupland books and when I got home I was shocked to see the hardcovers for my little ellie had arrived from the printers a week early!
One of the copies is going to my oldest niece for her birthday, she was a big reason why I wrote this book in the first place. ❤️

36 year old Liz describes herself as invisible, friendless & fat, & her condo is boring. Her cubicle farm job is a job is a job is a job. But while she was looking up at the Hale-Bopp comet from a video store parking lot she decided that instead of demanding certainty from life she wanted peace. And unexpected things started to happen. Just read it, Generation X isn't the only great novel Coupland wrote
