  The Road Ahead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Road Ahead, a book written by Bill Gates with Nathan Myhrvold and Peter Rinearson and published in November 1995, summarized the implications of the personal computing revolution and described a future profoundly changed by the arrival of a global interactive network.
The hardback edition, which was top of the New York Times bestseller list for seven weeks in late 1995 and early 1996, did not foresee that the then-nascent Internet would evolve into the interactive network that Gates predicted.
The Road Ahead occupied the top spot on the New York Times' bestseller list for over seven weeks and sold 2.5 million copies.
