THE ROAD AHEAD

If Bill Gates is right, fascinating surprises are in store for us as technology improves the way we live and work. How about answering the phone from your morning shower while projecting an image of yourself in your best business suit to the caller's screen? The tour of Gates's wired home is intoxicating--this is not just a book for business types and techies. Narrator Adamson is just as excited about these changes as Gates; his enthusiasm and pace aptly project Gates's boyish optimism for the future and all it holds. This clear-voiced view by Adamson is interspersed with audio clips from Gates himself. J.E.G. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 97]
