This book by Douglas Coupland came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Chuck Palahniuk. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Three twenty-something young adults, working at low-paying, no-future jobs, tell one another modern tales of love and death.
“doug copeland the guy who wrote generation x is a friend of mine and reading generation x was kind of a an epiphany for me it was such a unique fantastic book”— Chuck Palahniuk
