The memoir "Source Code - My Beginnings" by American billionaire Bill Gates includes 14 chapters and meaningful images in his life: family photos, his parents' wedding, photos of the author from childhood to adulthood, memories with friends and the teletypewriter at Lakeside...

Unlike previous works written about Bill Gates, the memoir focuses on the formation of Bill Gates as a person, with more than half of the content describing his childhood and adolescence.

Bill Gates recounted interesting details about his childhood in a truthful way. He described himself as an active child, always focused on what he liked such as math and reading, but had difficulty integrating into society, and was even somewhat eccentric.

The American billionaire frankly admitted that if he grew up today, he would probably be diagnosed with autism.

The key point in Bill Gates' entrepreneurial journey was his first contact with a computer. In 8th grade, at Lakeside School, young Gates was "shocked" by the computer's ability to respond quickly.

That was the beginning of his passion for programming, which led to him writing his first computer program - the game Tic-Tac-Toe.

Over time, Bill Gates recalls the past through what he believes, which partly reflects his inclinations and influences on his thinking from childhood to adulthood.

For the first time, the billionaire shared his personal story. Instead of social and career issues, he focused on his family background and the relationship between him and his loved ones.

In his memoirs, he often describes the social context related to many milestones in his life. These are also milestones that help readers visualize the stormy development of the technology industry in the past decades.
