Sounds interesting... Are the endings of the 8 short stories as lame as the ending his other book (JPod) ?

There are eight short stories in this book, and their endings vary, the majority had a open endings.
This book is NOTHING like jPod. It is a relatively short one, you can easily finish one of the stories in one sitting.

Furthermore, to base Coupland's writing on JPod is not fair. While I admit that JPod (and, so far, The Gum Theif) have been a litte harder to get into, all of his previous work is worth reading.
At the same time, Coupland is maturing. He isn't the same age he was when he wrote Generation X, and his writing has reflected the changes. Still my favorite author.

Thanks for commenting Andrew, I have not read many of Coupland's earlier novels, not even Generation X, yet I never had problems getting into any of the recent novels I read.
