"If you're getting a degree from a U.S. college this spring, I have a present for you," Bill Gates tweeted recently.
The Microsoft co-founder is donating a digital copy of "one of my favorite books," Hans Rosling's Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think (Flatiron Books), to "everyone who's getting a degree from a U.S. college or university this spring.... Although I think everyone should read it, it has especially useful insights for anyone who's making the leap out of college and into the next phase of life." Graduates must sign up or log in as a Gates Notes Insider to download the book.
