My memoir, Source Code, is officially out today. Looking back through decades of memories to write it was surprisingly eye-opening, meaningful, and also a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy reading it: https://gatesnot.es/40ZDHjA

Growing up, everyone knew me as the slightly awkward class clown. But when Paul Allen and I realized software would change the world, everything changed. Source Code tells the story of how I found my path and purpose along the way. https://gatesnot.es/4fVfEGL

I’m excited to announce my new book, Source Code, which will be published next February. In it, I write about the lessons and experiences that laid the foundation for everything in my life that followed. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you: https://gatesnot.es/4bLnCRx

There’s rarely a logic to what I decide to read next—I usually gravitate towards whatever sounds most interesting in the moment. But when I put together my summer list, I realized the books and TV series I’m recommending all touch on the idea of service to others. I hope you’re inspired to read (or watch) one: https://gatesnot.es/3V0kKtc

I believe that COVID-19 can be the last pandemic. In my upcoming book, I lay out the specific steps we can take to not only stop future pandemics but provide better health care for everyone around the world. https://b-gat.es/3360I9u

Looking for a great read? I hope at least one of these books sparks your interest this summer: https://gatesnot.es/3iI64xg

I’ve seen exciting progress in the more than 15 years that I’ve been learning about energy and climate change. What we need now is a plan that turns all this momentum into practical steps to achieve our big goals. That’s what How to Avoid a Climate Disaster is: a plan for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. I hope you'll check out this quick video.

I’m also often asked about what I am reading—either because people want to learn more about pandemics, or because they are looking for a distraction. So, in addition to the five new book reviews I always write for my summer book list, I included a number of other recommendations.

I hope you find something that catches your interest here:
