Not all technologies are so lucky. Some (say, wax cylinders) fade almost completely from cultural memory. A lucky few pass into metaphor: we still \"hang up\" our smartphones, \"cut\" film, and \"patch\" computer code. As digital streaming completes the obsolescence of physical media, what will become of the humble cassette?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Last Mixtape\u003c\/em\u003e, Seth Long offers a microhistory of music curation, anchored by the cassette, from which he explores the meanings of obsolescence, ownership, nostalgia, and the speed of cultural change. A moving meditation on our relationship with music, memory, and curation in the digital century, Long ultimately calls for a return to the media ecology represented by the mixtape: a world in which media is cheap and abundant but tactile and meaningfully engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000790925548,"sku":"9780226840482","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20633103482268.jpg?v=1763305177"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/seth-long.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
