The Cult of Mac (Paperback)
No product on the planet enjoys the devotion of a Macintosh
computer. Famously dedicated to their machines, many Mac
fans eat, sleep and breathe Macintosh. In The Cult of Mac,
Wired News managing editor Leander Kahney takes an in-depth
look at Mac users and their unique, creative, and often very
funny culture. From people who
get Mac tattoos and haircuts,
to those who furnish their apartments out of empty Mac
boxes, the book details Mac fandom in all of its forms. This
paperback edition includes an all-new chapter about the
iPod, updates throughout, and new photos that reflect
current Apple technology.
