Source Code: My Beginnings By Bill Gates

THE NO. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.

Before he became one of the most transformative figures of our modern age, Bill Gates was just a restless teenager navigating the turbulent waters of youth. In Source Code, Gates takes readers right back to his beginnings in Seattle, offering a remarkably candid look at his formative years. Discover the pivotal moments that shaped his worldview: the deep anchor of family, his struggles to fit in, his rebellious streak, the profound grief of losing his closest childhood friend, and his early discovery of a lifelong passion for coding and computing at the dawn of a digital revolution.

Witness the earliest sparks of the phenomenal business acumen that empowered a twenty-year-old Harvard dropout to bet everything on a fledgling company called Microsoft, co-founded with his childhood friend Paul Allen. Along the way, he shares fascinating encounters with the legendary figures who would define the tech landscape—including his first involvements with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Steve Ballmer. Concluding in the late 1970s as a dozen-person Microsoft signs its historic first deal with Apple, this warm, deeply personal, and inspiring origin story reveals the relentless drive, raw brilliance, and guiding values of a visionary who changed the world.
