<p><i>Source Code </i>describes with unprecedented candour Bill Gates' life from his childhood in Seattle to dropping out of Harvard aged 20 in 1975. Shortly afterwards he wrote, with Paul Allen, the programme which became the foundation of Microsoft and eventually for the entire software industry, changing the way the world works and lives.<br/><br/>Gates writes about the centrality of family to his life - his encouraging grandmother and ambitious parents, about struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, and the impact on him of the death of his closest friend. We see his extraordinary mind developing as a teenager, his excitement about the rapidly emerging technology of computing, and the earliest signs of his phenomenal business acumen.<br/><br/><i>Source Code</i> is a warm, wise and revealing self-portrait of one of the most influential people of our age.</p>

<p> <em>When my third child was born, I was told I had a boy. The baby was given a boy's name and raised in that gender. But when she died, twenty years later, she died as my daughter, and will forever be remembered that way.</em> </p> <p>Alice Litman died by suicide in May 2022, aged just twenty years old, having already waited almost three years for her first appointment at a gender identity clinic.</p> <p>In stunningly beautiful prose, Caroline Litman captures the realities of an often-messy journey navigating both her daughter's transition and the days, weeks and months after Alice's death.</p> <p>Searing, urgent and utterly unique, <em>Her Name is Alice</em> is the raw, human story of a mother's love and grief for her child - and of a young trans woman who is impossible to forget and who <em>must</em> be remembered.</p>

<p> <strong>Unfiltered and uncensored, actress Ione Skye's memoir is a wild ride of Hollywood thrills, confessions, and desire, as well as a deeply meditative and lyrical reflections of a messy, sexy, unapologetically unconventional life.</strong> </p> <p>In 1987, sixteen-year-old Ione Skye landed the breakout role of Diane Court, the dream girl who inspires John Cusack's iconic boombox serenade in the hit Cameron Crowe film, <em>Say Anything</em>. While Skye seemed perfectly typecast as an aloof valedictorian, her reality was much messier.</p> <p>The love child of a magnetic '60s It Girl and the folk-singing legend Donovan, Skye chased her absent father's approval throughout her life. Wounded by his rejection, she sought warmth through infatuations and affairs with the brightest lights in her path-Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Matthew Perry, John Cusack, and Robert Downey, Jr., as well as '90s "bad girls" like Jenny Shimizu, Ingrid Casares, and Alice Temple. On the heels of a toxic teen relationship with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, Skye leapt into wedded bliss with Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz. But marriage was not the magical hall pass to adulthood Skye had imagined, and the fairytale ended in heartbreak.</p> <p>A decade of sex, film, art, babies, and adventure later, Skye will reconcile with her father and connect with a fellow seeker, the Australian musician Ben Lee. But when Lee's world of gurus and cults threatens to subsume the couple, Skye must risk losing her soulmate to define, on her own terms, what it means to be a lover, partner, and parent.</p> <p>Set against a kaleidoscopic backdrop of Topanga Canyon sunsets, lesbian supermodel cliques, Indian ashrams, rock royalty compounds, and the sets of classic late-century films like <em>River's Edge, Gas Food Lodging, </em>and <em>Wayne's World, Say Everything</em> is a vulnerable and cinematic account of a Gen X icon's evolution to self-acceptance, and a celebration of living and loving out loud.</p>
