He describes with candour his childhood in Seattle, the centrality of family – his close relationship with his card-playing grandmother and his demanding but caring parents – his struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, his first deep friendships and the impact of losing his closest friend.The book ends in the late 1970s when Microsoft, still with only a dozen employees, signed its first deal with Apple.
The deals would go on and Microsoft would grow unimaginably.
Yet Gates never forgot his mother’s reminder that he was merely a steward of any wealth that he gained.
This warm and inspiring book, Bill Gates’ origin story, allows readers to understand his energy and ambition – and to see how he sets himself in the world.
