He was a founder again.
Moby was his dream, his vision.
Bob believed that we have a right to privacy in the 21st century.
That belief is Moby.
Bob's energy was infectious. He made friends everywhere he went. One of the things that made him truly special was his capacity to dream big and to summon those big crazy dreams into our world. Bob summoned the future into the present," he said in another tweet.
