| Why it’s on the list | McDonald spent a decade as Spotify’s data alchemist, building the listening maps behind Wrapped and Discover; this is his book on what streaming did to how music is found and heard. |
Where I heard about it
- @GergelyOrosz — recommended it on X, December 2024, having come to it by way of a disappointing Spotify Wrapped and then gone looking for whoever had built the earlier ones: “His name is Glenn McDonald and he is the author of this book.” McDonald had left Spotify by then.
Connections
- Spotify — the company McDonald built the data work inside.
- Gergely Orosz — the recommender.
