Enjoyable . . .The way Coupland moulds his fiction from the throwaway debris of North American popular culture is quite brilliant . . . Coupland has always been a highly compassionate writer, concerned mainly with the ways in which affluent people's lives are cheapened by popular culture
Scarlett Thomas, Guardian
A tense, utterly compelling story
The Times
A work of genius
Independent on Sunday
The pulse quickens as his principal characters hunker down for some besieged truth-telling...Dynamic engagement is the real meat of this slim but provocative novel
Independent
As always with Coupland, the ideas come thick and fast, they're quirky, often funny and frequently profound
Daily Mail
As an observer with a knack of coining memorable phrases he is as sharp as ever . . . Coupland's gift from comedy is evident in the combination of bathos and farce . . . Shows Coupland as a first-rate thinker on what technology in its present form does, and might do, to consciousness, identity and individuality
