There are few celebrities that I tune into for book recommendations and Bill Gates is one of those people. He is a book lover and enjoys reading new books and discussing them on his blog GatesNotes. And we will be looking at Bill Gates’ Winter 2024 book recommendations list!

Gates always has a bunch of lists for the end of the year and this year is no different. And Gates shares the four books he enjoyed. These four books are about “about making sense of the world around you,” according to Gates. While I enjoy reading fiction and fantasy novels, I do enjoy learning and being informed about stuff I know little to nothing about.

The books chosen by Gates are educational and informative and don’t get much attention in the mainstream. That is why blogs like Gates are essential. You can see the four books that Bill Gates chose below!

Bill Gates’ 2024 Book Recommendations!

  1. Engineering in Plain Sight by Grady Hillhouse
  2. The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman
  3. The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
  4. An Unfinished Love Story by Doris Kearns Goodwin

Engineering in Plain

“I’m a huge fan of Doris’s books, but I didn’t know a lot about her personal life until I read her new autobiography,” Gates writes on his blog post. “The book focuses on her life with her late husband, who served as a policy expert and speechwriter to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson during one of the most turbulent times in recent U.S. history. Doris is such a talented writer that the chapters about her love story are just as engaging and enlightening as the chapters about the Kennedy assassination and the Vietnam War.”

The Coming Wave

“Mustafa has a deep understanding of scientific history, and he offers the best explanation I’ve seen yet of how artificial intelligence—along with other scientific advances, like gene editing—is poised to reshape every aspect of society,” says Gates. “He lays out the risks we need to prepare for and the challenges we need to overcome so we can reap the benefits of these technologies without the dangers. If you want to understand the rise of AI, this is the best book to read.”
