Microserfs by Douglas Coupland is a novel that explores the lives of a group of young, tech-savvy employees working at Microsoft during the 1990s, as they navigate the challenges of work, relationships, and identity in the digital age. Through the perspective of Daniel, a programmer and self-proclaimed "microserf," the book offers a humorous and poignant commentary on the impact of technology on personal lives, the nature of corporate culture, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Blending satire and introspection, Microserfs captures the essence of a generation at the dawn of the internet age.
