Gates Working on New Book on Technology

SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates is working on another book, once again about how technology is changing the way we live.

"This is going to be a book about where Bill thinks technology is headed, and how these innovations are going to have an impact on business, on the way we work, on entertainment, the way we communicate and on big institutions," said Microsoft spokesman John Pinette.

There’s no word on the book’s title or a release date. The company is finalizing who the book’s co-author will be and has not met with any publishers yet, Pinette said.

"We’re just at the very beginning," he said.

In the "The Road Ahead," published in 1995, Gates wrote about his predictions for the Information Age – how technology would become an integral part of how most people learn, work, shop and entertain themselves.

Microsoft says about 2.5 million copies have been sold.
