Just finished jPod

I just finished jPod by Douglas Coupland.

jPod is a very funny book about software people. Lots of weird stuff in it, several utterly strange pages, several times again. Fun! Slightly absurd at times though not as absurd as Tom Sharpe novels..
It actually made me laugh out loud several times. And that doesnt really happen usually.
