jPod is a novel by the author Douglas Coupland. The story is pretty much about Ethan (from his POV) and his co-workers at the game company Neotronics Arts. They're hip, weird videogame designers and programmers that surnames start with a "J". You can expect the weirdness to continue with their surroundings, family, and friends and also by Coupland himself! If you haven't read it, do so. The ceilingcat is watching you!

There's a tv-show based on the novel, with the same name. Although, here's the sad news; the television network where jPod is broadcasted are cancelling the show! It's not even been a complete first season. So please sign this petition (I'll give you cupcakes!) and SAVE jPod! And if you feel like it, watch full episodes online here~

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

jPod is a novel by Douglas Coupland published by Random House of Canada in 2006. Set in 2005, it concerns a group of video game programmers whose last names all begin with "J". They live and work in a development "pod", which they refer to as the "jPod", within a company that, as Coupland describes, "resembles, but legally no way is Electronic Arts", located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (Electronic Arts has an important branch in Vancouver and its suburb Burnaby). As in Coupland's other novels, the characters can be said to face issues that define their era.

The novel is presented in the form of diary entries maintained on a computer by the narrator, similar to a previous novel from Coupland, Microserfs (1995).

jPod is also a CBC Television TV series; it premiered on January 8, 2008. ^[1] On March 7, 2008 its cancellation was announced, ^[2] thus ending the series with a permanent cliffhanger ending.
