The Plot to Get Bill Gates

That the richest m,an in the world has enemies is hardly surprising. But Bill Gates arouses his enemies wrath in a way that is truly unique. From business rivals such as Larry Ellison and Scott McNealy who are either acute sufferers from 'Bill envy' or justifiable enraged by Microsoft's underhand business practices, to politicians and consumer activists concerned at the stifling dominance of Gates, they all provide a fascinating insight into the phenomenon that is Bill Gates.

Garry Rivlin's writing is irreverent, brilliantly funny and intellectual independent. Free of the romanticized portraits and techno-hype perpetrated by many in the media. The Plot to Get Bill Gates brings a fresh perspective to the avaricious, bloodthirsty behaviour of these business icons and to the personality of Bill Gates himself. The result is a savagely funny morality play about big business at the century's end.
