A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'I thought that the Internet was a metaphor for life; now I think life is a metaphor for the Internet.' - Douglas Coupland

'With the Writers in Residence series, Alain de Botton and Visual Editions sure have hit on an awesome recipe. Take one rather brilliant writer, mix with a mysterious organisation, throw in some tasty design and some crisp photography, and you have yourself one extremely readable publication... an honest, detailed and deftly written observation of just about any organisation could be deeply interesting and an important document of the world around us.' --- It's Nice That
'In Kitten Clone, Coupland approaches the task of investigating his topic with the type of super-intelligent, wide-eyed curiosity that is perhaps specific to a writer and visual artist who hasn't himself had a proper job since 1988.' --The Independent

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The third book to be released as part of the Writers in Residence set is written by Canadian cultural literary giant Douglas Coupland. Coupland takes readers on a web surfing-inspired ride through Alcatel-Lucent: one of the largest global telecommunications companies in the world. Coupland, with Magnum photographer Olivia Arthur, reports from inside Alcatel's faceless corporate offices and wire-laden science labs, writing in his inimitably playful and insightful way about the wider cultural implications of the Internet and the affect Alcatel's IT has on us all.
