Reviews for Bill Gates
11 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book is a summary of quotes from Bill and explanations from the author based on those quotes. It fell more like a lengthy Facebook post rather than a book but it kept me going to the end. It's light reading with some interesting information in between.
If you want to find a history of Bill Gates in bite size chunks this is for you.
The most amazing piece of information is seeing he dates on the quotes such as the fact that in 1995 Bill was talking about a Wallet PC that would replace money in about 20 years. He was somehow in the ballpark. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A really great set of quotes from Bill Gates in this book - probably one of my favorite tech people of all times because of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
