Source Code: My Beginnings by Bill Gates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a fun read as it took me through my family’s history of computer ownership, from the Commodore 64 through the Tandy Sensation, and so on. My kids will tell me of another pre-computer, gaming thingie, but I always forget what it was called. I remember my first Bulletin Board note to my friend, both of us mothers of future computer geeks.
Another enjoyable aspect of the book was the geeky, nerdy tone that Wil Wheaton’s voice brings to Bill Gates’s life story. Many of my friends were not part of the “in” crowd, but rather the smarter, more interesting people. We tried to be trendy, but we were more into science, and the ones I envied, math.
I thought Bill Gates’s life was far different than mine, making it a very interesting read.
You can find this audiobook on Libby.
