Doug Coupland

Douglas Coupland (born 1961) is a Canadian novelist and visual artist. He is best known for his debut novel *Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture* (1991), which helped popularize the term “Generation X” and captured the anxieties of young adults in late-20th-century North America. Coupland has since written numerous novels, often blending satire, pop culture, and reflections on technology, consumerism, and contemporary life. Alongside his writing, he has maintained an active visual art practice, producing work for exhibitions and public projects. His cross-disciplinary career has made him a distinctive voice in modern Canadian culture.
