At this meeting, we will discuss the New York Times #1 bestseller – Bill Gates’ memoir Source Code.
This book is not about Microsoft, not about the Gates Foundation, and not about the future of technology. Source Code is a personal story of how Bill Gates became himself. The author shares memories of his childhood, family, early interests, friendships and losses, the search for his place in the world, and an unexpected discovery – programming – that changed his life forever. From late-night visits to the computer center to revolutionary ideas that emerged in the college dormitory, the journey of one of the most influential people of our time inspires with its humanity.
This is an honest and heartfelt account of the making of a person who managed to change the course of history – first in business, and later in global philanthropy, addressing climate change, diseases, and educational inequality.
If you want to look into Bill Gates’ “source code” as a person, not as a legend, this book is for you.
