Bit Rot: stories + essays

Bit Rot: stories + essays

A thought-provoking, binge-worthy new collection of essays, stories, and musings from Douglas Coupland,Â Bit RotÂ explores the different ways in which twentieth-century notions of the future are being shredded, and it is a literary gem of the digital age.

"Bit rot" is a term used in digital archiving to describe the way digital files can spontaneously and quickly decompose. As Douglas Coupland writes, "Bit rot also describes the way my brain has been feeling since 2000, as I shed older and weaker neurons and connections and enhance new and unexpected ones."

Bit RotÂ the book is a fascinating meditation on the ways in which humanity tries to make sense of our shifting consciousness. Coupland, just like the Internet, mixes forms to achieve his ends. Short fiction is interspersed with essays on all aspects of modern life. The result is addictively satisfying for Coupland's established fanbase hungry for his observations about our world, and a revelation to new readers of his work. For almost three decades, his unique pattern recognition has powered his fiction, his phrase-making, and his visual art. Every page ofÂ Bit RotÂ is full of wit, surprise, and delight. ReadingÂ Bit RotÂ feels a lot like bingeing on Netflix... you can't stop with just one.
