“Given the infinite number of coincidences that could happen, very few ever actually do. The universe exists in a coincidence-hating state of anti-fluke.”

Canadian novelist and cultural commentator, Douglas Coupland is best known for his satirical exploration of millennial life and consumer culture. His 1991 novel *Microserfs* became a defining work of the digital age, while *Generation X* (1992) offered a sharp, generational critique of alienation and materialism. His essays and fiction continue to dissect the contradictions of modern existence.
