“Money isn't money anymore. Time doesn't feel like time anymore. Your sense of community, it's evaporated, too, or it's turned into something you visit at 2 A.M. on a website.”

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.
