Generation A: A Novel


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.
