Thomas Dolby's hit songs "She blinded me with science" and "Hyperactive!" catapulted him to international fame in the early 80's. A pioneer of new wave and electronica, Thomas combined a love for invention with a passion for music, and the result was a new sound that defined an era of revolutionary music. But as record company politics overshadow the joy of performing, he finds a surprising second act.

Review of 'The speed of sound' on 'Goodreads'

Thomas Dolby's memoir is divided into two major themes: his life in the music industry and his life in the tech world. Both are full of funny stories and insights and I found both relevant to my own experience.
