Although I’ve been in the public eye since my early twenties, much of my life before then isn’t well known. Source Code is my attempt to explain how it all started—from my childhood through my decision to leave college and start Microsoft with Paul Allen.
In the book, I share some of the tougher parts of my early life, including feeling like a misfit as a kid, butting heads with my parents as a rebellious teen, grappling with the sudden loss of my best friend, and nearly getting kicked out of college. I write about dropping out of Harvard to make a bet on an industry that didn’t really exist yet.
But at its heart, Source Code is about the relationships, lessons, and experiences that laid the foundation for everything in my life that followed. It’s about the people who believed in me, pushed me to grow, and helped me turn my quirks into strengths. And it’s about the luck I had to be born to a great family in a time of historic technological change and optimism, and to come of age just as the personal computer revolution was taking off.
Source Code is my origin story, and I can’t wait to share it with you. You can pre-order it now: amzn.to/3Wu6BG8
