English Summary/英文概要： Further to your book fair interest…
Ambitious and ground breaking, Electric Shock tells the story of popular music, from the birth of recording in the 1890s to the digital age, from the first pop superstars of the twentieth century to the omnipresence of music in our lives, in hit singles, ringtones and on Spotify.
Over that time, popular music has transformed the world in which we live. Its rhythms have influenced how we walk down the street, how we face ourselves in the mirror, and how we handle the outside world in our daily conversations and encounters. It has influenced our morals and social mores; it has transformed our attitudes towards race and gender, religion and politics.
From the beginning of recording, when a musical performance could be preserved for the first time, to the digital age, when all of recorded music is only a mouse-click away; from the straitlaced ballads of the Victorian era and the ‘coon songs’ that shocked America in the early twentieth century to gangsta rap, death metal and the multiple strands of modern dance music: Peter Doggett takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the history of music. Within a narrative full of anecdotes and characters, Electric Shock mixes musical critique with wider social and cultural history and shows how revolutionary changes in technology have turned popular music into the lifeblood of the modern world.
Electric Shock is the first comprehensive history of Anglo-American popular music since Tony Palmer’s All You Need Is Love (1976) and is based on years of dedicated research and Peter Doggett’s unrivalled knowledge of musical history.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 远超过你对于书籍的兴趣……
《触电》是一本非常不同寻常并且有想法的书，讲述了流行音乐的故事，从19世纪80年代唱片录制的诞生，到当今数码时代，从20世纪的第一位流行巨星到当下我们生活中的音乐无处不在：不论是以热单形式，旋律形式还是在Spotify软件上。
在这段时间里，流行音乐改变了我们所生活的世界。它的节奏影响了我们在街上行走的方式，影响了我们面对镜中自己的样子，以及在我们的日常对话和交往中，我们应对外在世界的方式。流行音乐影响了我们的道德与社会规范；它改变了我们对于种族，性别，宗教以及政治的态度。
从唱片录制的最初时刻，当一场音乐表演第一次得以被保存下来，到如今的数字时代，当所有刻录的音乐与我们的距离只有鼠标的轻轻一击；从维多利亚时期的严苛芭蕾及20世界震惊了美国的“黑鬼歌曲”再到帮匪说唱，死亡金属以及现代舞蹈音乐的多种流派：皮特•多盖特将带领我们乘坐上过山车，一窥音乐史。《触电》中充满了奇闻逸事和各类鲜活的人物，将音乐评论与更广泛意义上的社会文化历史相结合，展示了科技的革命性发展是如何让流行音乐成为了现代世界的生命线。
《触电》是继托尼•帕尔马1976年所著的《你所需要的即是爱》后第一本详细而全面介绍英美流行音乐历史的书籍， 基于皮特多年潜心研究的成果，同时展现了皮特对音乐史无与伦比的丰富知识。（DC）
