Full of vivid, unexpected characters―alongside industry heavy-hitters like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Max Martin, and Ester Dean―this fascinating journey into the strange world of pop music reveals how a new approach to crafting smash hits is transforming marketing, technology, and even listeners’ brains. You’ll never think about music the same way again.
