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. Indeed, Microsoft intended that MSN would become the dominant network. After the book was written but before it hit bookstores, Gates recognized that the Internet was gaining the critical mass needed to drive it to dominance, and on December 7, 1995 -- just weeks after the release of the book -- he redirected Microsoft to become an Internet-focused company. Then he and coauthor Rinearson spent several months revising the book, making it 20,000 words longer and focused on the Internet. The revised edition was pubished in October 1996 as a trade paperback. Both editions came with a CD-ROM that contained the text of the book and supplemental information. One of Gates' coauthors, Nathan Myhrvold, was a computer scientist and Microsoft vice president who for a time oversaw Microsoft's research efforts. The other, Peter Rinearson, was a Pulitzer Prize winner and entrepreneur who would later become a Microsoft vice president. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Road Ahead"
