The Audible Past

"Jonathan Sterne's "The Audible Past "has come along to set the record straight on the cultural origins of sounds and systems, on machines and the mechanisms of culture. He's come here to give us the lowdown on how the technology evolved. Think of the book as a kind of sonic map of the origins of the way we listen to things around us, as a primer for the sonically perplexed. "-Paul D. Miller a. k. a. Dj Spooky that Subliminal Kid
