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.
