Dylan Jones has just written his personal memoir, "iPod, Therefore I Am," a journey into his obsession with music since the advent of Apple's iPod. For anyone who has an iPod you know what he is talking about. My personal obsession with the ultimate playlist has often kept me up at night. Pathetic.
This from the book cover:
"Dylan Jones' book is about the iPod, its astonishing effect on the music industry, its invention and marketing. It's also about how a little plastic and chrome digital music player no bigger than a mobile phone has irrevocably altered our relationship with music. This book features the design and creation of the iPod and the rejuvenation of Apple. It is also a history of Dylan Jones' personal journey through music, and his own obsessions with the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Burt Bacharach, punk, hip-hop, Van Morrison and U2. He selects the best 100 jazz records ever made and shows how to make your own definitive 175-song Beatles album. There are comprehensive lists and essays about what you could put on your own iPod. No longer will you have to bend to the whims of a record company's unalterable choices."
Right now, it is only available in the UK.
