Generation A: A Novel

Generation A: A Novel by Coupland, Douglas. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781439157015.

Generation A is set in the near future in a world where bees are extinct, until five unconnected people from around the world -- in the United States, Canada, France, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka -- are all stung. Their shared experience unites them in ways they never could have imagined. Generation A mirrors Couplands debut novel, 1991s Generation X. It explores new ways of storytelling in a digital world. Like much of Couplandswriting, it occupies the perplexing hinterland between optimism about the future and everyday apocalyptic paranoia. Imaginative, inventive, and fantastically entertaining, Generation A is his most ambitious work to date.
