- Microserfs, published by HarperCollins in 1995, is an epistolary novel by Douglas Coupland. It first appeared in short story form as the cover article for the January 1994 issue of Wired magazine and was subsequently expanded to full novel length. Set in the early 1990s, it captures the state of the technology industry before Windows 95, and predicts the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. The novel is presented in the form of diary entries maintained on a PowerBook by the narrator, Daniel. Because of this, as well as its formatting and usage of emoticons, this novel is similar to what emerged a decade later as the blog format. Coupland revisited many of the ideas in Microserfs in his 2006 novel jPod, which has been labeled "Microserfs for the Google generation".
- Microsiervos (Microserfs en el original inglés) es una novela escrita por el canadiense Douglas Coupland publicada en 1995 (en castellano en 1996). El texto proporciona un repaso de dos pequeñas, pero significantes, subculturas de la década de los '90. En primer lugar se nos introduce en la vida de los empleados de la multinacional de la informática Microsoft: la gente encargada de crear el software con el que funcionan los ordenadores de la mayoría de las oficinas del mundo. Se nos muestra cómo afecta la tecnología y la personalidad de Bill Gates a sus vidas. En segunda instancia se nos presenta a los mismos personajes después de haberse mudado a California para trabajar en una pequeña y recién creada empresa. Así, el libro nos ofrece un cercano punto de vista de éste fenómeno—la aguerrida lucha por el capital, por ser el primero en llegar y acaparar el mercado. Haciendo un análisis más profundo de la novela nos encontramos con una reflexión sobre la identidad humana, el deseo de independencia y, sobre todo, el deseo de pertenecer a algo.

- Рабы Майкрософта — роман Дугласа Коупленда, вышедший в 1995 году. Впервые он появился в форме небольшого рассказа в статье-обозрении журнала Wired в январе 1994 и впоследствии был расширен до полноценного романа. Написанный в ранние 90-ые, он изображает жизни людей, работающих в сфере программного обеспечения, и влияние работы на их отношения и жизни. Роман представлен в виде записей в дневнике, который ведет рассказчик. Тем самым он схож по стилю современным блогам, хоть и был написан ранее, чем они получили широкое рапространение в сети. Коупленд возвращается ко многим идеям и мыслям, раскрытым в Рабах Майкрософта, в романе JPOD, написанном в 2006 году.
