At least it is while I’m reading my latest book purchase. I always love looking through charity shops to see what people once wanted but have let go due to changing tastes, changing fashions etc. And occasionally you stumble across something like ‘The Road Ahead’ by Bill Gates for the bargain price of £1!
For one thing, it’s hard not to be impressed when the cover was shot by Annie Leibovitz – puts all the talk of ‘rock star’ marketeers and developers now into perspective!
The other is that I’ve only skimmed the first few page so far, but there’s a lot that seems to have now come true, some stuff that may still happen and a very wise and somewhat touching prediction that people may laugh at anything the book gets wrong… Looking forward to sitting down with this and making some notes…
Oh, and if you can’t be bothered to wander down to your local charity shop, it’s available online for the cost of postage plus 1p.
