Bill Gates-who built Microsoft into one of the most successful companies in the world gives his vision of what the future holds for us. We gets a birds eye view of the undiscovered territory on the information super highway-an authoritative, thought provoking and very readable travel guide for the journey.
There is suppose to be an CD-rom with the book. That isn't available.

Obtaining this book through the kindness of Ms. Chitwood in Estill Springs, Tennessee, for the bookshelf at the old soldiers' home, I read part of it on the bus today.
In March 2017 I find it very easy and fast reading. It was published to introduce folks to the Information Age, but I read Chapter 12 "The Information Superhighway" and found Mr. Gates quite prescient.
However, he maintained that more jobs would become available as computing/Internet ended other jobs, and that will not be so. Especially interesting is his warning about the seductiveness of virtual reality!
Good index.
