Thomas Dolby is a five-time Grammy nominee, whose 'She Blinded Me
With Science' reached number 5 on the US Billboard charts in 1982,
appeared in Breaking Bad, and was even covered by The Muppets...
Based on his meticulous notes and journals, The Speed of Sound
chronicles Dolby's life in the music business during the eighties;
in Silicon Valley through the nineties, and at the forefront of the
mobile phone revolution around the turn of the millennium - it was
Dolby who created the synthesizer installed today on most mobile
phones. With humour and a considerable panache for storytelling,
The Speed of Sound is a revealing look behind the curtain of the
music industry, as well as a unique history of technology over the
past thirty years. From sipping Chablis with Bill Gates to visiting
Michael Jackson at his mansion or viewing the Web for the first
time on Netscape founder Jim Clark's laptop, this is both the view
from the ultimate insider and also that of a technology pioneer
whose groundbreaking ideas have helped shape the way we live today.
