| | 'Generation X' Author Predicts Technology Will Doom Groupings |
 | | The man who wrote Generation X bristles at the pop culture buzzword and thinks society may not find it easy to classify people in the future. |
 | | Coupland, 33, has been examining technology for his next novel, Microserfs, due out in May. The book, he said, is based on the real lives of a group of people working at Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft. |
