Bill Gates has made the decision to open up about his personal life, announcing that he will be writing his memoirs.
On Tuesday, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates announced in Mingul Copost that he will be writing a book about his life, revealing its title as “Source Code: My Beginnings,” which will be released for sale on February 4, 2025.
For Bill Gates, writing books is not something new; he is the author of four books. However, he is now planning to share his own story for the first time. This book will shed light on his early life. Gates’ spokesperson stated that this would be “Bill’s true story,” and the book will not focus on the establishment of Microsoft, the technology company founded in 1975, or the charitable organization Gates Foundation.
What’s interesting is that the cover of this book will feature an image of a young Bill Gates with a gap between his teeth, very different from the Bill Gates of today. According to Bill Gates, in his childhood, he used to quarrel with his parents, experienced the sudden loss of a loved one, and faced events like being dropped out of college. These events, including his childhood fights with his parents and experiences of sudden loss and college expulsion, will be included in the memoirs.
He says that these memoirs are not about Microsoft, Gates Foundation, or the future of technology; rather, it is a personal story of a human being. It will depict how Bill Gates became the person he is today, what his childhood was like, and what dreams he had in his youth.
