What is the author's style in Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland?

The novel is narrated from the first person subjective point of view - that is, from the individualized, educated, idiosyncratic perspective of its central character, Andy Palmer (see "Characters"), the point of view of an individual caught between idealized but distant visions of the future and longings for a hollow but familiar past. It is also the result of a lack of any real sense of how he's going to integrate both past and future into a present vaguely fulfilling only because lack of loneliness, said lack resulting from his intense but somehow superficial friendships
