Douglas Coupland (pronounced KOHP-l?nd) Template:Post-nominals (born December 30, 1961) is a Canadian novelist. His fiction is complemented by recognized works in design and visual art arising from his early formal training. His first novel, the 1991 international bestseller Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, popularized terms such as McJob and Generation X. He has published thirteen novels, two collections of short stories, seven non-fiction books, and a number of dramatic works and screenplays for film and television. A specific feature of Coupland's novels is their synthesis of postmodern religion, Web 2.0 technology, human sexuality, and pop culture.Coupland lives in West Vancouver, British Columbia with his partner David Weir. He published his twelfth novel Generation A in 2009. He also released an updated version of City of Glass and a biography on Marshall McLuhan for Penguin Canada in their Extraordinary Canadians series, called Extraordinary Canadians: Marshall McLuhan. He is the presenter of the 2010 Massey Lectures, and a companion novel to the lectures, Player One – What Is to Become of Us: A Novel in Five Hours. Coupland has been longlisted twice for the Scotiabank Giller Prize in 2006 and 2010, respectively, was a finalist for the Writers' Trust Fiction Prize in 2009, and was nominated for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize in 2011 for Extraordinary Canadians: Marshall McLuhan.

#Quote
1What I like doing when I write books is finding something incredibly obvious that's almost too big to see. I think that's what happened with 'Generation X' - reporting on the modern world in general. That same sort of thing in the art world is finding something so obvious as bottle caps and looking at it again and saying, 'What's going on here?'
2[as a judge on a contest to capture the sensual aspect of a photograph] There is obviously something out there. I don't know how or why it works, but we've all felt it and we all know it's real. That's the sixth sense.
#Fact
1Intended the phrase "Generation X" to represent people born in the late 1950s and 1960s, not those born in the 1970s and 1980s (as is typically described).
2Coined the phrase "Generation X" with his seminal 1991 novel "Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture."
