The Cult of iPod
Wired news editor Leander Kahney follows up his bestselling
The Cult of Mac with The Cult of iPod, a comprehensive look
at how Apple's hit iPod is changing music, culture, and
listening behavior. The Cult of iPod includes the exclusive
back story of the iPod's development; looks at the many ways
iPod's users pay homage to their
devices; and investigates
the quirkier aspects of iPod culture, such as iPod-jacking
(strangers plugging into each other's iPods to discover new
music), as well as the growing legions of MP3Js (regular
folks who use their iPods to become DJs). Four-color
throughout.
