The days of being able to walk in to a Tower Records and seek out recommendations from an aloof, all-knowing staffer has been relegated to a long-lost Generation X paradise preserved in John Hughes films. From iTunes to Spotify, listeners now regularly turn to algorithms instead of human advice to develop relationships with the music they love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essential companion for any rock lover's collection--be it on vinyl or Spotify playlists--\u003cem\u003eAppetite for Definition \u003c\/em\u003ebreaks down algorithms into their human stories and interconnected histories. It provides and pulls up recommendations from a deeper well of consideration and gives you the tools to do the same.
