I’ve read jPod… and enjoyed it, so I figured I’d try microserfs by Douglas Coupland



microserfs



A really fast read (just like jPod) and very interesting… lots of parallels into the software world for sure. Though I’m not convinced that it was better than jPod, I still think that a bored geek could rip through this in a week or two (in my case).



The basic story (without disclosing it all) is that it’s a diary of a geek in a large corporate world, as a software developer, who tries to figure out life and love, while joining a startup.



Sounds familiar? :) Could I perhaps draw parallels between my own life and the book? I’ll leave that one rhetorical…
