Sometimes I stray from the SciFi realm, but just a bit. JPod was such an excursion.
It’s typical Coupland though a bit more rambling and useless pages than I care for. The story is more about the people and their messed up lives than the video game culture they work in (which is obviously meant to be EA – Electronic Arts). Though the backdrop of BoardX (the game they are working on) turning into SpriteQuest is the key thing that keeps this meanding monstrosity together.
It’s a decent and engaging read when all is said and done, but certainly not one of Coupland’s best works
