In the near future bees are extinct - until five unconnected
individuals, in different parts of the world, are stung.
Immediately snatched up by ominous figures in hazmat suits,
interrogated searately in neutral Ikea-like chambers, and then
released as 15-minute-celebrities into a world driven almost
entirely by the internet, these five unforgettable people endure a
barrage of unusual and highly 21st-century circumstances. A
charismatic scientist with dubious motives eventually brings the
quintet together, and their shared experience unites them in a way
they could never have imagined. Generation A mirrors the structure
of 1991's Generation X as it champions the act of reading and
storytelling as one of the few defences we still have against the
constant bombardment of the senses in a digital world. Like much of
Coupland's writing, it occupies the perplexing hinterland between
optimism about the future and everyday, apocalyptic paranoia, and
is his most ambitious and entertaining novel to date.
