Book Description

All hail the iPod! Small, sleek sexy, and capable of holding up to 50000 songs this little white box has stunned the world. From indie rock 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 entréeinto 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 tantalizing behind the scenes look at the genesis of the iPod. From its original conception 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 entertaining told 
A hilarious tale of gigabyte envy and exhaustive vinyl transfers, iPod. Therefore
is the inspired eccentric and an endlessly transfixing love song that the iPod deserves.
