Binge: 60 Stories to Make Your Brain Feel Different by Douglas Coupland

2.0

Some good stories, a lot that felt redundant (why tell the same story from multiple perspectives when it doesn't really add anything?), overall felt that the quality was dropping the further through the book I was. I'm writing a lot of flash fiction recently so vaguely useful to see what an author can do within 1000 words, but I'm not sure Coupland needed all 60 of these stories. I'm a 2005 gen Z and would say he generally fails to capture an authentic gen Z voice, but there's something slightly dad-ishly endearing about that. Maybe in a beautiful world all of these dad-dancers would go "viral".
