“It's to [Coupland's] credit that in JPod he's still nimble enough to take the post-modern man-too young for Boomer nostalgia and too old for youthful idealism-and drown his sorrows in a willful, joyful satire that revels in the same cultural conventions that it sends up.”

“It's time to admire [Coupland's] virtuoso tone and how he has refined it over 11 novels. The master ironist just might redefine E. M. Forster's famous dictate 'Only connect' for the Google age.”
— USA Today
“JPod is a sleek and necessary device: the finely tuned output of an author whose obsolescence is thankfully years away.”
— New York Times Book Review
“Zeitgeist surfer Douglas Coupland downloads his brain into JPod.”
