This autobiography of Bill Gates is not about Microsoft or the Gates Foundation or the future of technology. Instead, it’s the personal story of Bill Gates' childhood, early passions and pursuits. Gates details his struggles to fit in and his discovery of a world of coding and computers in the dawn of a new era, and the 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.

In October 2008, someone going by the name Satoshi Nakamoto posted a white paper outlining “a peer-to-peer electronic cash system” called Bitcoin to an arcane listserv populated by Cypherpunks. This book catalogs Benjamin Wallace's attempt over 15 years to unmask the figure behind the currency and the world it wrought. Tracking leads from London to Oslo to Los Angeles, from coastal Australia to the Arizona desert, Wallace takes readers through a rogues’ gallery tour of Nakamoto suspects—from benevolent geniuses like cryptographer Hal Finney to difficult ones like a reclusive polymath known to his followers only as Jim; from the mercurial Australian Craig Wright, who claims to be Nakamoto, to a secret team at the National Security Agency.

This book looks at the use of differential privacy (DP) for protecting personal data by introducing carefully calibrated random numbers, called statistical noise, when the data is used. Google, Apple, and Microsoft have all integrated the technology into their software, and the US Census Bureau used DP to protect data collected in the 2020 census. In this book, Simson Garfinkel presents the underlying ideas of DP, and helps explain why DP is needed in today’s information-rich environment, why it was used as the privacy protection mechanism for the 2020 census, and why it is so controversial in some communities.

In this book, Chris Dixon argues that the internet has undergone three distinct eras, starting with the "read" era, in which early networks democratized information. In the "read-write" era, corporate networks democratized publishing. We are now in the midst of the "read-write-own" era, sometimes called web3, in which blockchain networks are granting power and economic benefits to communities of users, not just corporations.
