Generation A is set in the near future in a world where bees are extinct, until five unconnected people all around the world- in the United States, Canada, France, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka-are all stung. Their shared experience unites them in ways they never could have imagined.
Generation A mirrors Coupland's debut novel, 1991's Generation X. It explores new ways of storytelling in a digital world. Like much of Coupland's writing, it occupies the perplexing hinterland between optimism about the future and everyday apocalyptic paranoia. Imaginative, inventive, and fantastically entertaining, Generation A is his most ambitious work to date.
"A piercing analysis of our modern society, Generation A is exhilarating and insightful, bubbling with wit and verve…. Coupland is better than ever, and Generation A is certain to thrill readers of every generation."
