About this listen

What do you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all starts to fall apart? The second volume of Moby's extraordinary life story is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons that lurk just beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle.

In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the millennium, PLAY. Like generation-defining albums before it, PLAY was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom. Suddenly he was hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and Madonna, taking esctasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres of vodka (every day), and sleeping with super models (infrequently). It was a diet that couldn't last. And then it fell apart.

The second volume of Moby's memoir is a classic about the banality of fame. It is shocking, riotously entertaining, extreme, and unforgiving.

Ignore the critics. This, and 'Porcelain ' are essential listens. I'm not a huge fan of Moby's music but I am of his influences, The dual timeline makes sense as a reveal to the evolution and dissolution of personality and the manifestation of core misery and trauma, and the expression of all of the above. Moby's not a name-dropper; this is reality-checking and contrast and self-loathing. But it's not all gloom: these are fabulous anecdotes of pop cultural moments in history, of the starstruck becoming stars and simultaneously kerb-crawling in nihilistic, hedonistic gutters. So glad I know Moby so much better!

Great audio book. What facinating life Moby has had. Such a rollercoaster to listen to. At times he's funny, interesting then completely self centred, then adds in some heart breaking twists. He loves to name drop which at times was annoying. Worth a listen as his life has been a tad insane.

Great book !

Fascinating, sad yet inspiring

Yeah definitely preferred the first Biography over this book. Not as fresh and captivating.

The chapter timeline switch from the past to now feels unnecessary. Trying too hard to copy his literary heroes and not getting the execution right.

Is he serious? very self indulgent
