''One of the most important dance music figures of the early '90s'' (AllMusic), electronica legend Moby has created eleven studio albums-including Ambient, Hotel, 18, and Play-that have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. He has worked as a film and video game score composer and producer, DJ, photographer, and essayist, and he has launched several business ventures, including a retail store and a restaurant. A vegan and vocal supporter of animal rights, Moby has also championed a variety of other humane, spiritual, artistic, technological, and charitable causes. His new memoir, praised by Salman Rushdie as ''terrific, enlivened by a bewildered deadpan humor that makes crazy sense of it all,'' tells the story of a passion for music and the search for his place in the world.
