Everyone is programmed a bit differently. Source Code tells the human, personal story of how Bill Gates became who he is today. Taking us back to his beginnings, Gates 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. We follow his extraordinary development as a restless teenager who discovered a love of coding and computing at the dawn of a new era, and see the earliest signs of the phenomenal business acumen that led him to drop out of Harvard at the age of 20 to devote all his energies to Microsoft. We also learn what distinguishes him from others in his line: from his first encounters with the three Steves - Jobs, Wozniak and Ballmer - to when Microsoft signed its first deal with Apple in the late 1970s and beyond, Gates never forgot his mother's reminder that he was merely a steward of any wealth that he gained. This warm and inspiring book allows readers to understand Gates's energy and ambition - and to see how he sets himself in the world.
