Each blockbuster has a secret history - of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like.

Great Content, Bad Narration
Definitely worth buying a hardcopy. The narrator sounded like he had a cold and the editor didn't make the effort to cut out the distracting mouth sounds. But the information was valuable for someone just starting!

Shockingly bad sounding. Will buy a hard copy.
Would you try another book from Audrey K. Chisholm Esq. and/or Nader Nadernejad?
Yes. I will be purchase the actual book. The audiobook leaves much to be desired.
Would you be willing to try another one of Nader Nadernejad’s performances?
I understand everyone has to start somewhere but this is just terrible. The audio is poorly recorded, performed, and edited. Unlistenable.
