But now there's a chance to become innovators instead of cogs in the gargantuan Microsoft machine. The intrepid Microserfs are striking out on their own--living together in a shared digital flophouse as they desperately try to cultivate well-rounded lives and find love amid the dislocated, subhuman whir and buzz of their computer-driven world.\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.
