In a world now without bees, five people in distant parts of the world become the first sting victims in years, and engage in a prophetic search for the planet’s future. Pulled from the world of drugs, the world of technology, and in one case, The World of Warcraft, a secret militant group apprehends the sting victims as a prophecy unfolds. This is the story in Douglas Coupland’s Generation A.
I’m not gonna lie, this book is pretty crazy. On the other hand, it’s a funny and thoughtful look at technology, society, and pop culture. Though technically a sequel in theme to the author’s book, Generation X, it can certainly be enjoyed on its own.
