Microserfs
Douglas Coupland
This is one of my favourite books to re-read from time to time. It’s the story of a group of friends who quit working for Microsoft to start their own software company. It’s funny, moving and has insight into what makes geeks tick.
It’s tech gets more and more outdated every time I read it, but the truths about relationships and the need to have a life outside of work still ring true.
Coupland is a very interesting writer and he has an easy going style that makes his work fun to read. I’d recommend you try one or two of his books. Apart from this one, try Generation X and Miss Wyoming. I think they’re pretty good.
