Bit Rot

"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". In this thought-provoking collection of essays, stories and musings, Douglas Coupland explores the different ways in which twentieth-century notions of the future are being shredded, and creates a gem of the digital age.
In a fascinating look at the ways humanity tries to make sense of our shifting consciousness, Bit Rot is addictively satisfying for Coupland's legion of fans hungry for his observations about our world.
