Daft Punk's Discovery: The Future Unfurled
Cardew is a longtime fan of the electronic music group Daft Punk.[11] He first interviewed Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk in 2005 and was impressed by the band's humility, generosity and approachability.[12]
In 2021, Cardew wrote the book Daft Punk's Discovery: The Future Unfurled, which explores Daft Punk's second album, Discovery, and the group's history, influence and legacy.[12] The book was published just after Daft Punk announced that they were ending their 28-year collaboration and splitting up the group.[12]
