    Breaking the Barriers Between Music and Technology: A Memoir
    Cover of 'The Speed Of Sound' by Thomas Dolby

    An inventive memoir tracing a synth-pop innovator’s path from early MTV fame to the volatile world of tech entrepreneurship, where he helped define the sound of mobile phones and navigated the boom-and-bust waves of the dot-com era. Mixing backstage anecdotes with boardroom drama, it explores the intersection of art and engineering, the risks of reinvention, and a return to creating and sharing music with renewed purpose.
