[Previous entry: "Official David Gilmour "On An Island" Press Release and Artwork"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "No Limited Editions of David Gilmour's On An Island"] 01/21/2006 Entry: "Rare Microserfs MP3 clip" Microserfs is not about Microsoft--it's about programmers who are searching for lives. A hilarious but frighteningly real look at geek life in the '90's, Coupland's book manifests a peculiar sense of how technology affects the human race and how it will continue to affect all of us. Microserfs is the hilarious journal of Dan, an ex-Microsoft programmer who, with his coder comrades, is on a quest to find purpose in life. This isn't just fodder for techies. The thoughts and fears of the not-so-stereotypical characters are easy for any of us to relate to, and their witty conversations and quirky view of the world make this a surprisingly thought-provoking book. Microserfs by Douglas Coupland is a great pre-Windows 95 pre-dot com view into developers. An audiobook read by Matthew Perry was available on tape for a while. To the best of my knowledge it was never available electronically, however a good friend of mine, somehow managed to get an mp3 clip. Enjoy!
