Praise

“Douglas Coupland is a media theorist, artist, writer, and designer. He’s also wickedly funny, which makes his thoughts on modernity all the more biting and enjoyable. Bit Rot…shows off all sides of Coupland’s work without ever losing his sardonic edge…. The book feels like an ongoing conversation with a hilarious, intelligent friend…an engaging, thought-provoking look at the modern age through the thoughts of one smart, funny man.” —Noah Cruickshank, Shelf Awareness
