Free Audiobook : Source Code, by Bill Gates

Explore the foundational journey of one of the era's most impactful business magnates and philanthropists.

Bill Gates' business achievements are legendary: the Harvard dropout at twenty who launched a software empire that reshaped global industries and lifestyles; the multi-billionaire who later focused on philanthropy, tackling issues like climate change, health worldwide, and education in the U.S.

"Source Code" isn't focused on Microsoft, the Gates Foundation, or tech's future. Instead, it delves into the personal odyssey of how Bill Gates evolved into his current self: from his formative years, his initial interests, and his early aspirations. This narrative encompasses the influence of his principled grandmother and driven parents, his first meaningful friendships, the tragic loss of his closest friend, his efforts to belong, and his awakening to the power of coding during the birth of the digital age. It follows him from sneaking into a local computer lab in his teens to his dorm at Harvard, where he ignited a revolution that would alter our world.

In "Source Code," Bill Gates shares his story firsthand: insightful, affectionate, and candid, offering a compelling glimpse into an extraordinary American life.
