Nine months later she gives birth to their daughter, Megan. As Karen sleeps through the next seventeen years, Richard and their circle of friends reside in an emotional purgatory, passing through a variety of careers--modeling, film special effects, medicine, demolition--before finally reuniting on a conspiracy-driven super-natural television series. But real life grows as surreal as their TV show as Richard and his friends await Karen's reawakening . . . and the subsequent apocalypse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCoupland, Douglas:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eDouglas Coupland is the author of twelve novels, including \u003cem\u003eGeneration X\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMicroserfs\u003c\/em\u003e, and several works of nonfiction, including \u003cem\u003ePolaroids from the Dead\u003c\/em\u003e.
