In this follow-up to his bestselling The Cult of Mac, Wired News editor Leander Kahney looks at how Apple's distinctively stylish portable player is changing the way we store, carry, and use all kinds of information—and the way we interact with each other. The Cult of iPod includes the exclusive back story of the iPod’s development 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). 4-color throughout.
