Links List

  1. Douglas Coupland's Official Website - This site outlines all of Coupland's expereiences, includes a Biography, and shows all of his work in novelization and television.
  2. Jpod's Offical Website - This flashy website is the official website for the Jpod, book and tv-series. Detailed information is given on almost all the characters and has an extract from the book. Good for those who are interested in reading Jpod.
  3. An interview with Douglas Coupland - This interview was very insightful (to me atleast) as it covered a lot of topics I did in my own responses. Such questions cover the pages and pages of prime numbers, Douglas in the novel himself, and the character Ethan.
  4. A review on JPod(Positive) - This page praises Coupland's style and ability to write through the mind of a cubicleworker. Like almost all found reviews, it refers to his previous works being great influences (Generation X and Microserfs).
  5. A review on JPod(Negative) - This USA Today outlines Coupland's work as "empty iriony, shapeless plots and more wink-wink witticism than an episode of VH1's I Love the '90s." I thought it would be good to show both opinions the public had on the novel, even if I personally disagree with this one.
  6. Chinatown, Vancouver - This page is from the offical Chinatown Vancouver site, but it clarifies the heritage, mainly looking into immigrants and refugees.
  7. Microserfs - This book is seen as the basis of JPod, and has very close ties. To fully grasp some of the critism of the book, you have to understand this book.
  8. Postmodernism - Douglas Coupland is considered royalty here, the King of Postmoderism.
