Do autor de Como evitar um desastre climático, best-seller do New York Times: a pandemia de covid-19 ainda não terminou, e, embora se esforcem para virar essa página, governos de todas as partes do mundo já começam a discutir o que vai acontecer a seguir. Como evitar que uma nova pandemia mate milhões de pessoas e destrua a economia global? Podemos ao menos ter esperança de ser bem-sucedidos nesta empreitada? Para Bill Gates, a resposta a essa pergunta é sim, e neste livro ele mostra de forma clara e convincente o que deveríamos ter aprendido com a covid-19 e o que está a nosso alcance para evitar outro desastre como esse. Baseando-se na troca de conhecimento com os melhores especialistas do planeta e na própria experiência no combate a doenças fatais na Fundação Gates, o autor primeiro nos ajuda a entender a ciência das patologias infecciosas. Em seguida, apresenta como as nações do mundo, trabalhando em conjunto entre si e com o setor privado, podem não apenas deter outra catástrofe semelhante à covid, mas também erradicar todas as mazelas respiratórias, incluindo a gripe. Eis aqui um chamado à ação — enérgico, abrangente e de extrema relevância — de um de nossos maiores e mais competentes pensadores e ativistas.

La historia de los comienzos de uno de los líderes empresariales y filántropos más transformadores e influyentes del mundo moderno. Los éxitos empresariales de Bill Gates son de sobra conocidos: el estudiante de veinte años que dejó sus estudios en Harvard para fundar una compañía de software que creció hasta ser un gigante de la industria y cambió para siempre la forma de trabajar y de vivir; el multimillonario que se convirtió en filántropo para abordar el cambio climático, la salud mundial y la educación en Estados Unidos. Código fuente no es un libro sobre la época dorada de Microsoft ni sobre la creación de la Gates Foundation, tampoco sobre el futuro de la tecnología. Es la historia humana, personal, de cómo Bill Gates se convirtió en quien es hoy, de su infancia y de sus tempranos intereses y proyectos. Es también la historia de su abuela, una mujer de principios, y de sus ambiciosos padres; de sus primeras amistades verdaderas y de la muerte repentina de su mejor amigo; de sus problemas para integrarse y de su descubrimiento de la programación y los ordenadores en los albores de una nueva era; de cómo siendo adolescente emprendió un camino que empezó con escapadas a medianoche a un centro de informática cercano y culminó en la habitación de su residencia universitaria, donde puso en marcha una revolución que cambiaría el mundo. Por primera vez, es Bill Gates quien cuenta su historia. En ella hay sabiduría, calidez y momentos reveladores. Y también el relato de una vida fascinante. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The origin story of one of the most influential and transformative business leaders and philanthropists of the modern age The business triumphs of Bill Gates are widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company that became an industry giant and changed the way the world works and lives; the billionaire many times over who turned his attention to philanthropic pursuits to address climate change, global health, and U.S. education. Source Code is not about Microsoft or the Gates Foundation or the future of technology. It's the human, personal story of how Bill Gates became who he is today: his childhood, his early passions and pursuits. It's the story of his principled grandmother and ambitious parents, his first deep friendships and the sudden death of his best friend; of his struggles to fit in and his discovery of a world of coding and computers in the dawn of a new era; of embarking in his early teens on a path that took him from midnight escapades at a nearby computer center to his college dorm room, where he sparked a revolution that would change the world. Bill Gates tells this, his own story, for the first time: wise, warm, revealing, it's a fascinating portrait of an American life.

Code source ne porte pas sur l'âge d'or de Microsoft, ni sur la création de la Fondation Gates, ni sur l'avenir de la technologie. Il s'agit du récit personnel de ce qui a fait de Bill Gates l'homme qu'il est aujourd'hui : son enfance, ses premières passions, ses premiers engagements. C'est l'histoire d'une grand-mère pétrie de principes, de parents ambitieux, de ses premières grandes amitiés et de la mort subite de son meilleur ami ; de sa lutte pour s'intégrer, de sa découverte du monde du codage et des ordinateurs à l'aube d'une nouvelle ère ; de son adolescence, depuis ses escapades nocturnes dans un centre informatique jusqu'à la résidence universitaire où il a déclenché une révolution qui allait changer la face du monde. Cette histoire, son histoire, Bill Gates la raconte pour la première fois dans un livre éclairant et sincère, nous dévoilant une fascinante destinée américaine.

Dunia belum pernah melakukan apa pun yang sebesar itu. Tiap negara akan harus mengubah cara beroperasinya.

Denne boken tar for seg hvordan teknologien kan hjelpe bedriften til å nå etbedre resultat. Bill Gates mener tempoet i arbeidslivet vil stige på grunn av en økende strøm av digital informasjon, og verktøyet for å mestre forandringene kaller han det digitale "nervesystem". Gjennom en rekke eksempler fra ulike bransjer illustrerer Gates hva han mener med dette uttrykket. Boken tar blant annet for seg hvordan teknologien kan hjelpe en til raskere å reagere på problemer og muligheter, holde seg i kontakt med nettverk og kolleger gjennom bærbart elektronisk utstyr, omgjøre alt papirarbeid til elektronisk arbeid, øke bedriftens reaksjonsevne i form av e-post og gjøre den globale kommunikasjonen raskere. Gates snakker også om en ny livsstil, web-livsstilen, der internett holder deg i kontinuerlig kontakt med andre mennesker og systemer.

Ta książka to owoc dziesięciu lat badań nad przyczynami i skutkami zmian klimatycznych. Bill Gates w poszukiwania sposobów na powstrzymanie katastrofy ekologicznej zaangażował ekspertów w dziedzinach fizyki, chemii, biologii, inżynierii, politologii i finansów. Wniosek z ich badań jest jeden: musimy dążyć do zredukowania emisji gazów cieplarnianych, do zera! Jak tego dokonać? Bill Gates, specjalista od urzeczywistniania nowych idei, przede wszystkim przedstawia konkretny i praktyczny plan działania, wskazuje obszary, w których technologia już dziś pomaga ograniczać emisję gazów, wyjaśnia jak znane dziś technologie mogą być bardziej efektywne i gdzie niezbędne są nowe rozwiązania oraz kto już pracuje nad koniecznymi innowacjami. Proponuje strategie dla państw, ale i sposoby, w jakie obywatele mogą rozliczać rządy, pracodawców i siebie samych z postępów w tym projekcie kluczowym dla ratowania planety.
