The Road Ahead by Bill Gates

In this episode-- Bill Gates, King of Microsoft, and one of the most odd, controversial, and insanely wealthy people on Earth. A planet could probably buy, lets be honest. Did you know he wrote a book of predictions about the internet BEFORE it existed (well, the one we know today, anyway)? Being one of a small group of insiders who helped shape the way the internet was, and is, used by the world, it's crazy to think of how much he got wrong (and he did). And how much he actually got right (a lot).  Join Elton as he dives into the life of not one, but THREE things at once in this "Look where we ended up, Bill, you son of a b!tch!" episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week.  [[APOLOGIES SECTION: Sorry, Paul Allen, key-tar players and fans, the classmates of Bill Gates, the good people of UCLA and Stanford, and of course, Bill Gates.]] GET THE BOOK HERE! https://amzn.to/3N09TLf CONTRIBUTE: https://www.patreon.com/eltonreadsabookaweek https://anchor.fm/elton-reads-a-book-a-week EMAIL: [email protected] LINKS: https://linktr.ee/EltonReadsABookAWeek MUSIC: No Good Layabout by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4140-no-good-layabout License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Intractable by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3920-intractable License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Apero Hour by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3375-apero-hour License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Opportunity Walks by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4173-opportunity-walks License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Backbay Lounge by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3408-backbay-lounge License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Chase by Brian Holtz Music Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/7617-chase License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license [[[THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!]]] Thank you, Diedrich Bader ...and [BLEEP] (please don't sue me).
