No Life


“You never heard about people “not having lives” until about five years ago, just when all of the ‘80s technologies really penetrated our lives.”
- Coupland, Douglas. Microserfs. HarperCollins Books: Toronto, 1995. pg 164

Coupland has a way with words. His characters can say things in regular conversation that just say so much about our own reality. This is just one of those shining gems that I have found in his novels.
