Girlfriend in a Coma, Douglas Coupland
Probably written Late 90s? Just finished Girlfriend in a Coma. In some ways, this book seems to me like Coupland’s response to Microserfs.

This morning I read of the Brazilian government’s plan to make $200 pc’s available to its people. There are too many variables involved for me to say that this is an unconditionally good idea for Brazil. First off, a cursory comparison between the level of poverty that exists in Brazil vs. the poverty that exists…
