The Unshelved BOOK CLUB PRESENTS JPod BY DOUGLAS COUPLAND
Dewey: "Ethan Jarlewski is designing a gritty inner-city skateboarding video game."
Old Man : "In my day we played Snakes and Ladders."
Dewey : "Then the new marketer decrees it should feature an adorable talking turtle named Jeff."
Old Man : "Like Mickey Mouse?"
Dewey : "But Ethan is too distracted by his parents to care.
His pot-growing mother electrocuted her biker boyfriend and his wannabe-actor father is being stalked by his girlfriend."
Old Man : "Divorce isn't easy."
Dewey : "No, they're happily married.
Now his coworkers ("JPod") are spending all their time on a deeply offensive private project involving Ronald McDonald.
And his girlfriend built a hug machine for borderline-autistic software developers."
Old Man : "A hug machine? You've lost me."
Dewey : "It's about my generation. We're lost too."
