JPod af Douglas Coupland (Bog)

Ethan and his five co-workers are marooned in JPod, a no-escape architectural limbo on the fringes of a massive game-design company. There they wage battle against the demands of boneheaded marketing staff who torture them with idiotic changes to already idiotic games. Meanwhile, Ethan's personal life is being invaded by marijuana grow-ops, people-smuggling, ballroom dancing, global piracy and the rise of China. Everybody in both worlds seems to inhabit a moral grey zone, and nobody is exempt, not even his seemingly strait-laced parents or Coupland himself…

Ethan og hans fem kolleger er strandet i et arkitektonisk limbo i JPod, på kanten af en stor computerspils design virksomhed, hvor de kæmper mod kravene fra hårdkogte marketingfolk. Imens bliver Ethans personlige liv invaderet af marihuana producenter, smugling, dans, pirateri og Kinas opgang. Alle befinder sig i en moralsk gråzone.
