Robert "Bob" Moog is the subject of the biography, Switched On: Bob Moog and the Synthesizer Revolution, by Albert Glinsky, with a Foreword by Francis Ford Coppola (Oxford University Press, 2022). The book is the first to traverse Moog's entire life and career. Moog contributed the Foreword to Glinsky's first book, Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage, the definitive portrait of the life and work of Leon Theremin, who was a principle inspiration to Moog.
