Non-Fiction Memoir
By his early thirties, Paul Allen was a world-famous
billionaire-and that was just the beginning. In
2007 and 2008, Time named Paul Allen, the cofounder
of Microsoft, one of the hundred most influential people in
the world. Since he made his fortune, his impact has been
felt in science, technology, business, medicine, sports,
music, and philanthropy. His passion, curiosity, and
intellectual rigor-combined with the resources to launch and
support new initiatives-have literally changed the world.
In 2009 Allen discovered that he had lymphoma,
lending urgency to his desire to share his story for the
first time. In this long-awaited memoir, Allen explains how
he has solved problems, what he's learned from his many
endeavors-both the triumphs and the failures-and his
compelling vision for the future. He reflects candidly on an
extraordinary life. The book also features previously
untold stories about everything from the true origins of
Microsoft to Allen's role in the dawn of private space
travel (with SpaceShipOne) and in discoveries at the
frontiers of brain science. With honesty, humor, and
insight, Allen tells the story of a life of ideas made real.
