“Microserfs” by Douglas Coupland

This is how the WildCardXXLAnimation image generation model “sees” the cover for “Microserfs” by Douglas Coupland.

“Microserfs” is a novel written by Canadian author Douglas Coupland, published in 1995. It’s a semi-autobiographical fiction that tells the story of a group of six former Microsoft employees who quit their jobs to form a commune-like co-op in San Francisco after Microsoft settled an antitrust lawsuit with the US government. The title “Microserfs” is a playful term for employees of Microsoft, derived from the company’s “Microsoft Windows 3.x” software that was referred to as “Windows/386”, where “/386” can be rearranged into “386/”.
