The early life story of one of the most influential and revolutionary entrepreneurs and philanthropists of our time. Source Code is not about the heyday of Microsoft, the founding of the Gates Foundation, or the future of technology. It is the personal account of what made Bill Gates the man he is today: his childhood, his early passions, his early commitments. It is the story of a principled grandmother, ambitious parents, his first close friendships, and the sudden death of his best friend; of his struggle to fit in, his discovery of coding and computers at the dawn of a new era; of his adolescence, from his late-night escapades in a data center to the university dormitory where he sparked a revolution that would change the world. This story—his story—is told for the first time in an illuminating and candid book, revealing a fascinating American story.
