Book Review of The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture, and Coolness

reviewed on + 32 more book reviews


This book will be a joyride for anyone who likes books about how things come into being. (The last book of this type I read was about the history of condoms - and The Perfect Thing was way better!) I loved how this book made me look at my ipod differently, how I learned how much work and creativity went into this generation's ipod. The references and quotes from Steve Jobs were priceless. This book was accessable to a non-techie, but still had enough technical references to ground it, probably even to those in the business.
