iPod, therefore I Am

Author : Dylan Jones
Reviewed by : Sriranjani S
Age group : Adults

  TAll hail the iPod! Small, sleek, and sexy, and capable of holding up to fifteen thousand songs, this little white box has stunned the world. From indierock college kids to elderly jazz fans, from classical music buffs to teenage hip-hop hustlers, no technology has so seamlessly crossed the great divide. Now, in iPod, Therefore I am, compulsive album collector, music journalist, and multi-award-winning men’s magazine editor Dylan Jones recounts his entrée into this exponentially growing cult. With humor and style, Jones takes the reader on an incredible journey through his lifelong musical infatuation- a thirty-year binge of glam rock, punk, disco, and rap that coalesced with the iPod’s miraculous ability to put all of a person’s meticulously hoarded songs in one place. Along the way, Jones offers a tantalization by Steve Jobs to the landmark design of Jonathan Ive, the innovative designer who has become a legend in his own time, the history of the iPod has never been so entertainingly told. A hilarious tale of gigabyte envy and exhaustive vinyl transfers, iPod, Therefore I am is the inspired, eccentric and endlessly transfixing love song that the iPod deserves.
