Somewhere a computer is very sure where your parcel is. It's nearly always right, and it doesn't actually know anything. A tracking page is a best guess, stitched together from a handful of scans.
This book follows one pair of headphones from a warehouse in the Midlands to a doorstep, explaining what each status message really means. There are barcodes, sorting hubs at three in the morning, the maths behind your delivery window, what 'delivered' means when nobody signed, and what happens when the system starts watching the drivers too.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (132 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
