我最喜欢的两本夏日读物：F. Scott Fitzgerald 的《The Great Gatsby》，Douglas Coupland 的《Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture》。只要你喜欢 Gatsby，我们就是朋友。
Two of my favourite summer books: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland Any friend of Gatsby is a friend of mine.
……当以手机为中心的童年时代席卷而来时，他们中只有极少数人已经过了青春期。每一代人都觉得自己的痛苦是独一无二的，而且比前人更惨。去读读 Douglas Coupland 90年代初的小说（《Generation X》和《Microserfs》），看看 X 世代相比他们的父母过得如何。去看看《东之伊甸》，看看千禧一代中期是如何面对 NEET（在日本、美国和西欧）概念的兴起的……
…few years of them were beyond puberty when the phone-based childhood swept in. Every generation thinks its suffering is unique and worse than those before it. Read Douglas Coupland's early 90s novels (Generation X and Microserfs) to see how Gen X fared in contrast to their parents. Watch Eden of the East to see how middle-Millenials struggled with the rising concept of the NEET (in Japan, the US, and western Europe…
我刚重读了 Douglas Coupland 的《Microserfs》和《Generation X》。其实这两本书当年刚出版时我就读过。它们的前瞻性让我深感震惊。许多被我深埋心底的主题和想法，居然全都在……
I just re-read "Microserfs" and "Generation X" by Douglas Coupland. I actually read both of these years ago when they first came out. I am amazed at how prescient they were. So many themes and ideas that I had buried away were right there on the…
去读读 Douglas Coupland 的《Generation X》吧，创造这个词的原作。讲的全是90年代那帮二十出头的人选择摆烂退出的故事，因为回报看起来遥不可及，根本不值得去拼。书中还指责了婴儿潮一代……
Read Douglas Coupland’s Generation X, the original book that coined the term. It’s all about 20-somethings in the ‘90’s dropping out because the rewards seem so impossibly far out of reach that it’s not even worth trying. Also held the Boomers…
……更多是关于后婴儿潮一代生活前景大幅缩水所导致的文化萎靡，而不是什么“巨婴心态”（感兴趣的人可以去读读 Coupland 的《Generation X》，看看这个流派的源头。这也是一本非常棒的书）。嬉皮士的存在时间比那长得多（至少能追溯到垮掉的一代），他们的特征更多是享乐主义……
…more about the cultural malaise caused by the dramatically lower lifestyle prospects afforded to the post-boomer generation, than it was about being "entitled" (for those who are interested, go read "Generation X" by Coupland to see the origin of the genre. It's also a really good book.) Hipsters have been around for a lot longer than that (since the Beat Generation, at least), and are more defined by hedonism…
……婴儿。去撩那个极度厌恶这鬼地方的唯一女设计师。这让我发誓这辈子再也不在办公室工作了。真不敢相信 Douglas Coupland 的这两本小说我居然都没读过。不过《Generation X》确实影响深远。
…babies. Hitting on the one female designer who loathed the place. It taught me never to work in an office again as long as I live. Can't believe I didn't read either of those Douglas Coupland novels. "Generation X" was pretty seminal, though.
