The CBC Book Club presents Douglas Coupland with Generation A
(http://www.cbc.ca/bc/bookclub/)

Douglas Coupland's new novel Generation A once again mirrors a generation. But this time, the generation is looking at a world on the brink of environmental and moral meltdown. In the near future bees are extinct -- until one autumn when five people are stung in different places around the world. This shared experience unites them in a way they never could have imagined.
