Two stories in and if this is the “best of” I will likely not finish this. Kinda bullshit.

100 pages in. Deeply bored.
Poorly edited (Schütte uses five whole pages to say Kraftwerk compromise their artistic integrity by disambiguating the message of “Radio-Activity” in concert). Lots of handwringing about WWII and excessive use of the word “gesamkunstwerk.” Little in the way of compelling story. Despite the cover image, I don’t think I’ve read a word about synthesizers yet.

I bailed on this book. The author put the (flimsy and superficial) “self-help” part around the midpoint, making further reading feel unnecessary.
