It has sometimes been tough for me to find a nonfiction book with the spark and accessibility to make a potentially difficult topic easy to read about. Appetite for Self-Destruction, which chronicles the record industry's failure to move with technology in the digital age, could easily have become bogged down in techno-speak, transcripts of board meetings, and the minute differences between audio files. The reason I picked up a book on this particular, potentially inaccessible, topic was that the first chapter I read on the NPR website described a baseball game in which angry rock fans destroyed disco records with such engaging flourish that I actually wanted to know what happened next. The engaging and accessible tone continued the whole way through, so I was never bored. I also particularly enjoyed the book because it took a number of events that I remembered just by virtue of being a teenager in the late 90s/early 2000s, and put them together into a comprehensive picture about the record industry's belated and uncoordinated response to mp3s, Napster, and all the tech that followed. I truly enjoyed the book, and recommend it to others. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Recounts for the first time the epic story of the precipitous rise and fall of the recording industry over the past three decades, when the success of the CD turned the music business into one of the most glamorous, high-profile industries in the world--and the advent of file sharing brought it to its knees. In a fast-paced account full of larger-than-life personalities, journalist Knopper shows that, after the wealth and excess of the '80s and '90s, Sony, Warner, and the other big players brought about their own downfall through years of denial and bad decisions in the face of dramatic advances in technology. Based on interviews with more than two hundred music industry sources--from Warner Music chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr. to renegade Napster creator Shawn Fanning--Knopper is the first to offer such a detailed and sweeping contemporary history of the industry's wild ride.

Primarially the people and companies of the end of the record industry cash-cow, less real investigation into the systems and stats of vinyl being replaced by 0's and 1's.
I enjoyed it, most people will.
