JPod - Douglas Coupland

Reminiscent of Coupland's Microserfs, JPod takes place in a suspiciously EA Games-like Vancouver videogame company. Six employees are put together in a cubicle pod by a computer glitch - all six work in different parts of the company, but are put together because their last names all start with J. Evan is the main character, whose family includes a dope-growing, biker-burying sweetie of a mother. Bree is a nympho, Cancer Cowboy is a smoker, Jon Doe is a child of a hippie who grew up in a commune and now tries to be as average as possible, Evil Mark is not evil, and Kaitlin is the newbie. The crazy Coupland-esque plot includes the main character meeting Douglas Coupland himself, homemade Coca-Cola complete with cocaine, sabotaging the videogame they are working on with unlockable scenes of Ronald McDonald on a gory killing rage, random contests, etc, etc.
If you liked Microserfs, you should read this too. If you like Coupland, you should read this too. If you've never read Coupland, this is a good place to start. Definately an entertaining read!
