The Road Ahead by Bill Gates

Description

The pioneering founder of Microsoft presents a visionary, jargon-free look at how the tools and emerging technologies of the future–especially the “Information Highway”–will transform the way we live and work.

Love him or loathe him, Mr. Microsoft is certainly an influential voice in the modern business world and The Road Ahead is definitely an important addition to any business library. Gates’ description of the beginnings of the information age, while somewhat over-emphasizing his own contributions and downplaying those of his competitors, is nonetheless as clear and enlightening as any in print today. Likewise, his view of the digital future–from hardware to software and education to entertainment–should be read and studied by all who use technology in their business today or plan to use it on the road ahead.
