About this product
Product Information
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.

Very helpful and prompt communication prior to purchasing item. Very prompt delivery. Also helped with my request to package item in plastic to avoid rain damage. Thank you for excellent service.

All good, item as described and very polite seller. Bit of delay with delivery due to unforeseen circumstances, but seller contacted me to inform about it and I was happy with it, I didn’t need the item urgently anyway.

Item was well packaged and arrived as described. Seller went the extra mile with good communication, and a "care crib sheet" which was a really nice touch. Recommended
