According to Time, Paul Allen is one of the "100 Most Influential People In The World." Idea Man is the story of the fascinating life of a man who has made an unprecedented impact in science, technology, business, sports, music, and philanthropy. His memoir features previously untold stories that offer insight into everything from the true origins of Microsoft to a behind-the-scenes view of the dawn of private space travel. It offers reflections from someone who has led an extraordinary life, learned a lot, and helped improve the world. 'Paul's natural curiosity will always guide him into uncharted waters. Whether it's a newfangled device called the personal computer; exploring the bottom of the sea or deep space; music, movies, and museums; or perhaps his most significant adventure so far? the human brain? two things are certain: It won't be the same afterward, and it will be an extraordinary journey.'
Paul Allen was an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He co-founded Microsoft alongside Bill Gates in 1975. He was the company's chief technologist.
