Editing Goldie (section)

=== Books ===
The innovative nature of Goldie's art (both sonic and visual) was a consistent theme in [[Kodwo Eshun]]'s acclaimed book 'More Brilliant Than The Sun' (published in 1998) which has long been seen as a landmark text on Afro-futurism. Among the works that Eshun referenced were Goldie's 1986 graffiti piece Future World Machine and his 1992 single 'Terminator'. Noting the links between the multi-dimensionality in both painting and sound, Eshun noted: "There's a big interface between graffiti and the break."<ref>Eshun 1998, p. 177.</ref>

In 2002, Goldie's autobiography 'Nine Lives' was published by [[Hodder & Stoughton]]. Written with London-based writer [[Paul Gorman]], the book traced his life story from childhood in care and foster homes through to the first flush of his success as a groundbreaking musical artist.

A second autobiography 'All Things Remembered' was published in November 2017 by Faber & Faber. Written when Goldie was 52, it covers a more comprehensive span than the earlier book but is more philosophic in tone. While incidents from his extraordinary childhood are recounted, it also includes his ruminations on musical heroes such as Pat Metheny and a conversation with "my left-hand man" [[Doc Scott]] as well as memories of his work in TV and film. The book includes pictures of Goldie on set with [[David Bowie]]. Co-written with Ben Thompson, 'All Things Remembered' was chosen by [[Nicola Barker]] as one of The Guardian's Books Of The Year. She described it as "a fabulous, whirling kaleidoscope of music, memory and trauma . . . magical and cautionary."<ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-11-25 |title=Best books of 2017 – part one |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/nov/25/best-books-of-2017-part-one |access-date=2023-12-08 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
