The autobiography of one of the most cult musicians of our time—terrifyingly candid, sensual, witty, sad, and funny—spanning the road from hopeless poverty in the slums to astonishing worldwide success.
Moby never had to become a DJ or a musician, never had to become a star—and there were a thousand reasons for that. The beginning of his career was the time of drugs, progressive club music, and he himself was a poor Christian teenager from Connecticut—an abstainer obsessed with healthy eating and in love with animals. He had nothing, and even found ways to come to terms with it. But maybe those years in New York are exactly when only poverty could keep you alive. Not without tragedy and drama, Moby found his path and broke out to the top of the music world.
With astonishing honesty and romantic irony, Moby writes about love and pain, about highs and lows—the unpredictable swing of rock stardom.
