IPOD, THEREFORE I AM
Book ID/图书代码： 00470005B07885
English Summary/英文概要： Since 1972, when he was eleven, Dylan Jones has been regularly buying records in a 30-year binge of glam rock, punk, disco and rap. His life is full of disparate pop stars and their disparate records. But now, the iPod has changed everything, because Apple CEO Steve Jobs and his chief designed Jonathan Ive’s invention has enabled listeners to put all their music in one place. 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. With Part personal memoir, part product history, part marketing manual, iPod, Therefore I Am is the literary love-child of Nick (High Fidelity) Hornby and Michael (Liar’s Poker) Lewis.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Dylan Jones刚开始买唱片的时候他才11岁，自此之后他就一发不可收拾了。华丽摇滚，摇滚庞克，迪斯科乐，说唱式音乐等等就成了他三十年人生的全部生活。在人生的不同阶段他接触了不同风格的乐队譬如说Buzzcocks, 披头式乐队，Sex Pistols，罗克希音乐乐团，范-莫里森，约翰柯川。 在过去的三十年里，Dylan Jones的世界里充满风格迥异的流行歌手，还有他们五花八门的唱片。有些作品影响了他的思维模式和行为，有些呢则锻造了他的人生乐谱。每一张唱片都以它独有的方式传递着他的存在。他的挚友们就是Dylan的唱片机、磁带驱动器、WALKMAN，CD播唱机，但是当ipodMP3机出现的时候，完全改变了Dylan Jones的生活，重新点燃了他那么多年来一直痴迷唱片的激情，也颠覆了Dylan还有我们大家听音乐的模式。
这一代人就被定格为ipod代，而iPod也成了二十一世界标志性的玩具。既有个人传记的风格，也阐述了一个新生代产品的诞生史，《有了iPod,所以才有现在的我》介绍了ipod是怎样一步步从概念化的东西走向发明殿堂，之后iPod又对音乐产业带去了什么样惊人的冲击。(Celia)
