Douglas Coupland - jPod

Canadian author Douglas Coupland (Alum: 84), who wrote his first film screenplay with last year's Everything's Gone Green, has written a new TV series based on his novel, JPod.

The 13-part series will be a look into Vancouver's video game industry and airs on CBC Television.

The quirky novel JPod follows the lives of a group of video-game developers as games are created, twisted into a new shape by the marketing department and eventually canceled without seeing the light of day.
