It's a terrific read Daniel, thank you for all your work putting the book together. I will reiterate my remarks about it being unput-downable, it was at times like being on a roller coaster... and just when you think you know 'all about Gates,' there then comes a detail that brings on an open mouthed gasp of horror.... seriously readers, get this book!

Thank you very much for such a generous review. I really appreciate you highlighting the book for your followers and readers and I hope they will take the time to have a look at it too. Gates is not of course alone in being a billionaire shaping the world in an unaccountable and dangerous fashion, but I do think he is the one who represents the greatest danger because of the technology he applies, the recklessness of its application, and the global nature of his interests. One of the other things the book covers extensively is his role in the whole Net Zero and (allegedly) Green agenda, and here too we see utopian claims (averting potential disaster, improving the world) contradicted by selfish wealth accumulation and a total disregard for consequences.
