The book begins in the late 1970s, when disco was at its peak. Disco music was characterized by its four-on-the-floor beat, its use of synthesizers and other electronic instruments, and its focus on dance. Disco was a huge commercial success, but it was also met with a lot of criticism from music critics and fans of other genres. Some people thought that disco was too commercial and soulless, while others objected to its association with the gay community.

In the early 1980s, disco began to decline in popularity. This was due in part to the rise of new genres of electronic music, such as house and techno. House music originated in Chicago, and it was characterized by its repetitive four-on-the-floor beat, its use of synthesizers and drum machines, and its focus on dance. Techno music originated in Detroit, and it was characterized by its faster tempo, its use of synthesizers and drum machines, and its focus on repetition.

House and techno music quickly became popular in underground clubs in the United States and Europe. By the late 1980s, these genres had begun to crossover into the mainstream. In the 1990s, electronic music became one of the most popular genres of music in the world. Today, electronic music continues to evolve and new genres are constantly emerging.
