La historia de los comienzos de uno de los lÃderes empresariales y filántropos más transformadores e influyentes del mundo moderno.
Los éxitos empresariales de Bill Gates son de sobra conocidos: el estudiante de veinte años que dejó sus estudios en Harvard para fundar una compañÃa de software que creció hasta ser un gigante de la industria y cambió para siempre la forma de trabajar y de vivir; el multimillonario que se convirtió en filántropo para abordar el cambio climático, la salud mundial y la educación en Estados Unidos. Código fuente no es un libro sobre la época dorada de Microsoft ni sobre la creación de la Gates Foundation, tampoco sobre el futuro de la tecnologÃa. Es la historia humana, personal, de cómo Bill Gates se convirtió en quien es hoy, de su infancia y de sus tempranos intereses y proyectos. Es también la historia de su abuela, una mujer de principios, y de sus ambiciosos padres; de sus primeras amistades verdaderas y de la muerte repentina de su mejor amigo; de sus problemas para integrarse y de su descubrimiento de la programación y los ordenadores en los albores de una nueva era; de cómo siendo adolescente emprendió un camino que empezó con escapadas a medianoche a un centro de informática cercano y culminó en la habitación de su residencia universitaria, donde puso en marcha una revolución que cambiarÃa el mundo. Por primera vez, es Bill Gates quien cuenta su historia. En ella hay sabidurÃa, calidez y momentos reveladores. Y también el relato de una vida fascinante. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The origin story of one of the most influential and transformative business leaders and philanthropists of the modern age

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The origin story of one of the most influential and transformative business leaders and philanthropists of the modern age
The business triumphs of Bill Gates are widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company that became an industry giant and changed the way the world works and lives; the billionaire many times over who turned his attention to philanthropic pursuits to address climate change, global health, and U.S. education. Source Code is not about Microsoft or the Gates Foundation or the future of technology. It's the human, personal story of how Bill Gates became who he is today: his childhood, his early passions and pursuits. It's the story of his principled grandmother and ambitious parents, his first deep friendships and the sudden death of his best friend; of his struggles to fit in and his discovery of a world of coding and computers in the dawn of a new era; of embarking in his early teens on a path that took him from midnight escapades at a nearby computer center to his college dorm room, where he sparked a revolution that would change the world. Bill Gates tells this, his own story, for the first time: wise, warm, revealing, it's a fascinating portrait of an American life.
