Body <htmlxheadxfheadxbody>cpre> This exchange with Alvin Toffler appeared in
<i>Playboy<i> for January, 1964. Great trouble was taken on
both sides to achieve the illusion of a spontaneous
conversation. Actually, my contribution as printed conforms
meticulously to the answers, every word of which I had written
in longhand before having them typed for submission to Toffler
when he came to Montreux in mid-March, 1963. The present text
takes into account the order of my interviewer's questions as
well as the fact that a couple of consecutive pages of my
typescript were apparently lost in transit. <i>Egreto perambis
doribus! cti>
<i>With the American publication<i> of Lolita <i>in 1958,
your fame and fortune mushroomed almost overnight from high
repute among the literarycii> cognoscenti-- <i>which you bad
enjoyed for more than 30 years-- to both acclaim and abuse as
the world-renowned author of a sensational bestseller. In the
aftermath of this causecii> celebre, <i>do you ever regret
having written</i> Lolita?
On the contrary, I shudder retrospectively when I recall
that there was a moment, in 1950, and again in 1951, when I was
EFTA01068349
on the point of burning Humbert Humbert's little black diary.
No, I shall never regret <i>Lolita.</i> She was like the
composition of a beautiful puzzle-- its composition and its
solution at the same time, since one is a mirror view of the
other, depending on the way you look. Of course she completely
eclipsed my other works-- at least those I wrote in English:
<i>The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Bend Sinister,</i> my
short stories, my book of recollections; but I cannot grudge
her this. There is a queer, tender charm about that mythical
nymphet.
<i>Though many readers and reviewers would disagree that
her charm is tender, few would deny that it is queer-- so much
so that when director Stanley Kubrick proposed his plan to make
a movie ofc/i> Lolita, <>you were quoted as saying, "Of course
they'll have to change the plot. Perhaps they will make Lolita
a dwarfess. Or they will make her 16 and Humbert 26. " Though
you finally wrote the screenplay yourself, several reviewers
took the film to task for watering down the central
relationship. Were you satisfied with the final product? </i>
I thought the movie was absolutely first-rate. The four
main actors deserve the very highest praise. Sue Lyon bringing
that breakfast tray or childishly pulling on her sweater in the
car-- these are moments of unforgettable acting and directing.
The killing of Quilty is a masterpiece, and so is the death of
Mrs. Haze. I must point out, though, that I had nothing to do
with the actual production. If I had, I might have insisted on
stressing certain things that were not stressed-- for example,
the different motels at which they stayed. All I did was write
the screenplay, a preponderating portion of which was used by
Kubrick. The "watering down," if any, did not come from my
aspergillum.
<i>Do you feel thate Lolita's <>twofold success has
affected your life for the better or for the worse? </i>
I gave up teaching-- that's about all in the way of
change. Mind you, I loved teaching, I loved Cornell, I loved
composing and delivering my lectures on Russian writers and
European great books. But around 60, and especially in winter,
one begins to find hard the physical process of teaching, the
getting up at a fixed hour every other morning, the struggle
with the snow in the driveway, the march through long corridors
to the classroom, the effort of drawing on the blackboard a map
of James Joyce's Dublin or the arrangement of the semi-sleeping
car of the St. Petersburg-Moscow express in the early 1870s--
without an understanding of which neither <i>Ulysses</i> nor
<i>Anna Karenin,e respectively, makes sense. For some reason
my most vivid memories concern examinations. Big amphitheater
in Goldwin Smith. Exam from 8 a.m. to 10:30. About 150
students-- unwashed, unshaven young males and reasonably
well-groomed young females. A general sense of tedium and
disaster. Half-past eight. Little coughs, the clearing of
EFTA01068350
nervous throats, coming in clusters of sound, rustling of
pages. Some of the martyrs plunged in meditation, their aims
locked behind their heads. I meet a dull gaze directed at me,
seeing in me with hope and hate the source of forbidden
knowledge. Girl in glasses comes up to my desk to ask:
"Professor Kafka, do you want us to say that . ? Or do you
want us to answer only the first part of the question?" The
great fraternity of C-minus, backbone of the nation, steadily
scribbling on. A rustle arising simultaneously, the majority
turning a page in their bluebooks, good teamwork. The shaking
of a cramped wrist, the failing ink, the deodorant that breaks
down. When I catch eyes directed at me, they are forthwith
raised to the ceiling in pious meditation. Windowpanes getting
misty. Boys peeling off sweaters. Girls chewing gum in rapid
cadence. Ten minutes, five, three, time's up.
<>Citing in</i> Lolita <i>the same kind of acid-etched
scene you've just described, many critics have called the book
a masterful satiric social commentary on America. Are they
right? </i>
Well, I can only repeat that I have neither the intent nor
the temperament of a moral or social satirist. Whether or not
critics think that in <i>Lolita</i> I am ridiculing human folly
leaves me supremely indifferent. But I am annoyed when the glad
news is spread that I am ridiculing America.
<i>But haven't you written yourself that there is "nothing
more exhilarating than American Philistine vulgarity"? </i>
No, I did not say that. That phrase has been lifted out of
context, and, like a round, deep-sea fish, has burst in the
process. If you look up my little after-piece, "On a Book
Entitled Lolita," which I appended to the novel, you will see
that what I really said was that in regard to Philistine
vulgarity-- which I do feel is most exhilarating-- no
difference exists between American and European manners. I go
on to say that a proletarian from Chicago can be just as
Philistine as an English duke.
<>Many readers have concluded that the Philistinism you
seem to find the most exhilarating is that of America's sexual
mores. </i>
Sex as an institution, sex as a general notion, sex as a
problem, sex as a platitude-- all this is something I find too
tedious for words. Let us skip sex.
<>Have you ever been psychoanalyzed?</>
Have I been <>what?
Subjected to psychoanalytical examination.e
Why, good God?
EFTA01068351
<i>ln order to see how it is done. Some critics have felt
that your barbed comments about the fashionability of
Freudianism, as practiced by American analysts, suggest a
contempt based upon familiarity. <J>
Bookish familiarity only. The ordeal itself is much too
silly and disgusting to be contemplated even as a joke.
Freudism and all it has tainted with its grotesque implications
and methods appears to me to be one of the vilest deceits
practiced by people on themselves and on others. I reject it
utterly, along with a few other medieval items still adored by
the ignorant, the conventional, or the very sick.
<>Speaking of the very sick, you suggested in<Ji> Lolita
<i>that Humbert Humbert's appetite for nymphets is the result
of an unrequited childhood love affair; in<Ji> Invitation to a
Beheading <i>you wrote about a 12-year-old girl, Emmie, who is
erotically interested in a man twice her age; and in</i> Bend
Sinister <>your protagonist dreams that he is "surreptitiously
enjoying Mariette (his maid) while she sat, wincing a little,
in his lap during the rehearsal of a play in which she was
supposed to be his daughter. " Some critics, in poring over
your works for clues to your personality, have pointed to this
recurrent theme as evidence of an unwholesome preoccupation on
your part with the subject of sexual attraction between
pubescent girls and middle-aged men. Do you feel that there may
be some tnith in this charge? </i>
I think it would be more correct to say that had I not
written <i>tolita,</i> readers would not have started finding
nymphets in my other works and in their own households. I find
it very amusing when a friendly, polite person says to me--
probably just in order to be friendly and polite-- "Mr.
Naborkov," or "Mr. Nabahkov," or "Mr. Nabkov" or "Mr.
Nabohkov," depending on his linguistic abilities, "I have a
little daughter who is a regular Lolita." People tend to
underestimate the power of my imagination and my capacity of
evolving serial selves in my writings. And then, of course,
there is that special type of critic, the ferrety,
human-interest fiend, the jolly vulgarian. Someone, for
instance, discovered telltale affinities between Humbert's
boyhood romance on the Riviera and my own recollections about
little Colette, with whom I built damp sand castles in Biarritz
when I was ten. Somber Humbert was, of course, thirteen and in
the throes of a pretty extravagant sexual excitement, whereas
my own romance with Colette had no trace of erotic desire and
indeed was perfectly common-place and normal. And, of course,
at nine and ten years of age, in that set, in those times, we
knew nothing whatsoever about the false facts of life that are
imparted nowadays to infants by progressive parents.
<>Why false? </i>
Because the imagination of a small child-- especially a
EFTA01068352
town child-- at once distorts, stylizes, or otherwise alters
the bizarre things he is told about the busy bee, which neither
he nor his parents can distinguish from a bum-blebee, anyway.
<>What one critic has termed your "almost obsessive
attention to the phrasing, rhythm, cadence and connotation of
words" is evident even in the selection of names for your own
celebrated bee and bumblebee-- Lolita and Humbert Humbert. How
did they occur to you? <1i>
For my nymphet I needed a diminutive with a lyrical lilt
to it. One of the most limpid and luminous letters is "L". The
suffix "-ita" has a lot of Latin tenderness, and this I
required too. Hence: Lolita. However, it should not be
pronounced as you and most Americans pronounce it: Low-lee-ta,
with a heavy, clammy "L" and a long "o". No, the first syllable
should be as in "lollipop", the "L" liquid and delicate, the
"lee" not too sharp. Spaniards and Italians pronounce it, of
course, with exactly the necessary note of archness and caress.
Another consideration was the welcome murmur of its source
name, the fountain name: those roses and tears in "Dolores." My
little girl's heartrending fate had to be taken into account
together with the cuteness and limpidity. Dolores also provided
her with another, plainer, more familiar and infantile
diminutive: Dolly, which went nicely with the surname "Haze,"
where Irish mists blend with a German bunny-- 1 mean, a small
German hare.
<>You're making a word-playful reference, of course, to
the German term for rabbit-- <1>Hase. <i>But what inspired you
to dub Lolita's aging inamorato with such engaging redundancy?
<1>
That, too, was easy. The double rumble is, I think, very
nasty, very suggestive. It is a hateful name for a hateful
person. It is also a kingly name, and I did need a royal
vibration for Humbert the Fierce and Humbert the Humble. Lends
itself also to a number of puns. And the execrable diminutive
"Hum" is on a par, socially and emotionally, with "Lo," as her
mother calls her.
<i>Another critic has written of you that "the task of
sifting and selecting just the right succession of words from
that multilingual memory, and of arranging their many-mirrored
nuances into the proper juxtapositions, must be psychically
exhausting work. " Which of all your books, in this sense,
would you say was the most difficult to write? </i>
Oh, <i>Lolita,</i> naturally. I lacked the necessary
information-- that was the initial difficulty. I did not know
any American 12-year-old girls, and I did not know America; I
had to invent America and Lolita. It had taken me some forty
years to invent Russia and Western Europe, and now I was faced
by a similar task, with a lesser amount of time at my disposal.
EFTA01068353
The obtaining of such local ingredients as would allow me to
inject average "reality" into the brew of individual fancy
proved, at fifty, a much more difficult process than it had
been in the Europe of my youth.
<i>Though born in Russia, you have lived and worked for
many years in America as well as in Europe. Do you feel any
strong sense of national identity? </i>
I am an American writer, born in Russia and educated in
England where I studied French literature, before spending
fifteen years in Germany. I came to America in 1940 and decided
to become an American citizen, and make America my home. It so
happened that I was immediately exposed to the very best in
America, to its rich intellectual life and to its easygoing,
good-natured atmosphere. I immersed myself in its great
libraries and its Grand Canyon. I worked in the laboratories of
its zoological museums. I acquired more friends than I ever had
in Europe, My books-- old books and new ones-- found some
admirable readers. I became as stout as Cortez-- mainly because
I quit smoking and started to munch molasses candy instead,
with the result that my weight went up from my usual 140 to a
monumental and cheerful 200. In consequence, I am one-third
American-- good American flesh keeping me warm and safe.
<i>You spent 20 years in America, and yet you never owned
a home or had a really settled establishment there. Your
friends report that you camped impermanently in motels, cabins,
furnished apartments and the rented homes of professors away on
leave. Did you feel so restless or so alien that the idea of
settling down anywhere disturbed you? </i>
The main reason, the background reason, is, I suppose,
that nothing short of a replica of my childhood surroundings
would have satisfied me. I would never manage to match my
memories correctly-- so why trouble with hopeless
approximations? Then there are some special considerations: for
instance, the question of impetus, the habit of impetus. I
propelled myself out of Russia so vigorously, with such
indignant force, that I have been rolling on and on ever since.
True, I have rolled and lived to become that appetizing thing,
a "full professor," but at heart I have always remained a lean
"visiting lecturer." The few times I said to myself anywhere:
"Now, that's a nice spot for a permanent home," I would
immediately hear in my mind the thunder of an avalanche
carrying away the hundreds of far places which I would destroy
by the very act of settling in one particular nook of the
earth. And finally, I don't much care for furniture, for tables
and chairs and lamps and rugs and things-- perhaps because in
my opulent childhood I was taught to regard with amused
contempt any too-earnest attachment to material wealth, which
is why I felt no regret and no bitterness when the Revolution
abolished that wealth.
EFTA01068354
<>You lived in Russia for twenty years, in West Europe
for 20 years, and in America for twenty years. But in 1960,
after the success of</i> Lolita, <i>you moved to France and
Switzerland and have not returned to the U. S. since. Does this
mean, despite your self-identification as an American writer,
that you consider your American period over? </i>
I am living in Switzerland for purely private reasons--
family reasons and certain professional ones too, such as some
special research for a special book. I hope to return very soon
to America-- back to its library stacks and mountain passes. An
ideal arrangement would be an absolutely soundproofed flat in
New York, on a top floor-- no feet walking above, no soft music
anywhere-- and a bungalow in the Southwest. Sometimes I think
it might be fun to adorn a university again, residing and
writing there, not teaching, or at least not teaching
regularly.
<i>Meanwhile you remain secluded-- and somewhat sedentary,
from all reports-- in your hotel suite. How do you spend your
time? </i>
I awake around seven in winter: my alarm clock is an
Alpine chough-- big, glossy, black thing with big yellow beak--
which visits the balcony and emits a most melodious chuckle.
For a while I lie in bed mentally revising and planning things.
Around eight: shave, breakfast, enthroned meditation, and
bath-- in that order. Then I work till lunch in my study,
taking time out for a short stroll with my wife along the lake.
Practically all the famous Russian writers of the nineteenth
century have rambled here at one time or another. Zhukovski,
Gogol, Dostoevski, Tolstoy-- who courted the hotel chambermaids
to the detriment of his health-- and many Russian poets. But
then, as much could be said of Nice or Rome. We lunch around
one p.m., and I am back at my desk by half-past one and work
steadily till half-past six. Then a stroll to a newsstand for
the English papers, and dinner at seven. No work after dinner.
And bed around nine. I read till half-past eleven, and then
tussle with insomnia till one a.m. about twice a <i>week<A> I
have a good, long nightmare with unpleasant characters imported
from earlier dreams, appearing in more or less iterative
surroundings-- kaleidoscopic arrangements of broken
impressions, fragments of day thoughts, and irresponsible
mechanical images, utterly lacking any possible Freudian
implication or explication, but singularly akin to the
procession of changing figures that one usually sees on the
inner palpebral screen when closing one's weary eyes.
<i>Funny that witch doctors and their patients have never
hit on that simple and absolutely satisfying explanation of
dreaming. Is it true that you write standing up, and that you
write in longhand rather than on a typewriter? </i>
Yes. I never learned to type. I generally start the day at
EFTA01068355
a lovely old-fashioned lectern I have in my study. Later on,
when I feel gravity nibbling at my calves, I settle down in a
comfortable armchair alongside an ordinary writing desk; and
finally, when gravity begins climbing up my spine, I lie down
on a couch in a corner of my small study. It is a pleasant
solar routine. But when I was young, in my twenties and early
thirties, I would often stay all day in bed, smoking and
<i>writing.</i> Now things have changed. Horizontal prose,
vertical verse, and sedent scholia keep swapping qualifiers and
spoiling the alliteration.

<i>What inspires you to record and collect such
disconnected impressions and quotations? </i>
All I know is that at a very early stage of the novel's
development I get this urge to gamer bits of straw and fluff,
and eat pebbles. Nobody will ever discover how clearly a bird
visualizes, or if it visualizes at all, the future nest and the
eggs in it. When I remember afterwards the force that made me
jot down the correct names of things, or the inches and tints
of things, even before I actually needed the information, I am
inclined to assume that what I call, for want of a better term,
inspiration, had been already at work, mutely pointing at this
or that, having me accumulate the known materials for an
unknown structure. After the first shock of recognition-- a
sudden sense of <i>"this</i> is what I'm going to write"-- the
novel starts to breed by itself; the process goes on solely in
the mind, not on paper; and to be aware of the stage it has
reached at any given moment, I do not have to be conscious of
every exact phrase. I feel a kind of gentle development, an
uncurling inside, and I know that the details are there
already, that in fact I would see them plainly if I looked
closer, if I stopped the machine and opened its inner
compartment; but I prefer to wait until what is loosely called
inspiration has completed the task for me. There comes a moment
when I am informed from within that the entire structure is
finished. All I have to do now is take it down in pencil or
pen. Since this entire structure, dimly illumined in one's
mind, can be compared to a painting, and since you do not have
to work gradually from left to right for its proper perception,
I may direct my flashlight at any part or particle of the
picture when setting it down in writing. I do not begin my
novel at the beginning. I do not reach chapter three before I
reach chapter four, I do not go dutifully from one page to the
next, in consecutive order; no, I pick out a bit here and a bit
there, till I have filled all the gaps on paper. This is why I
like writing my stories and novels on index cards, numbering
them later when the whole set is complete. Every card is
rewritten many times. About three cards make one typewritten
page, and when finally I feel that the conceived picture has
been copied by me as faithfully as physically possible-- a few
vacant lots always remain, alas-- then I dictate the novel to
EFTA01068357
my wife who types it out in triplicate.
<i>In what sense do you<i> copy <i>"the conceived
picture" of a novel? <i>
A creative writer must study carefully the works of his
rivals, including the Almighty. He must possess the inborn
capacity not only of recombining but of re-creating the given
world. In order to do this adequately, avoiding duplication of
labor, the artist should <i>lcnow<i> the given world.
Imagination without knowledge leads no farther than the back
yard of primitive art, the child's scrawl on the fence, and the
crank's message in the market place. Art is never simple. To
return to my lecturing days: I automatically gave low marks
when a student used the dreadful phrase "sincere and simple"--
"Flaubert writes with a style which is always simple and
sincere"-- under the impression that this was the greatest
compliment payable to prose or poetry. When I struck the phrase
out, which I did with such rage in my pencil that it ripped the
paper, the student complained that this was what teachers had
always taught him: "Art is simple, art is sincere." Someday I
must trace this vulgar absurdity to its source. A schoolmarm in
Ohio? A progressive ass in New York? Because, of course, art at
its greatest is fantastically deceitful and complex.
<i>ln terms of modem art, critical opinion is divided
about the sincerity or deceitfulness, simplicity or complexity,
of contemporary abstract painting. What is your own opinion?
<i>
I do not see any essential difference between abstract and
primitive art. Both are simple and sincere. Naturally, we
should not generalize in these matters: it is the individual
artist that counts. But if we accept for a moment the general
notion of "modem art," then we must admit that the trouble
with it is that it is so commonplace, imitative, and academic.
Blurs and blotches have merely replaced the mass prettiness of
a hundred years ago, pictures of Italian girls, handsome
beggars, romantic ruins, and so forth. But just as among those
corny oils there might occur the work of a true artist with a
richer play of light and shade, with some original streak of
violence or tenderness, so among th" corn of primitive and
abstract art one may come across a flash of great talent. Only
talent interests me in paintings and books. Not general ideas,
but the individual contribution.
<i>A contribution to society? cii>
A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is
only important to the individual, and only the individual
reader is important to me. I don't give a damn for the group,
the community, the masses, and so forth. Although I do not care
for the slogan "art for art's sake"-- because unfortunately
such promoters of it as, for instance, Oscar Wilde and various
EFTA01068358
dainty poets, were in reality rank moralists and didacticists--
there can be no question that what makes a work of fiction safe
from larvae and rust is not its social importance but its art,
only its art.
<>What do you want to accomplish or leave behind-- or
should this be of no concern to the writer? </i>
Well, in this matter of accomplishment, of course, I don't
have a 35-year plan or program, but I have a fair inkling of my
literary afterlife. I have sensed certain hints, I have felt
the breeze of certain promises. No doubt there will be ups and
downs, long periods of slump. With the Devil's connivance, I
open a newspaper of 2063 and in some article on the books page
I find: "Nobody reads Nabokov or Fulmerford today." Awful
question: Who is this unfortunate Fulmerford?
<i>While we're on the subject of self-appraisal, what do
you regard as your principal failing as a writer-- apart from
forgetability? </i>
Lack of spontaneity; the nuisance of parallel thoughts,
second thoughts, third thoughts; inability to express myself
properly in any language unless I compose every damned sentence
in my bath, in my mind, at my desk.
<>You're doing rather well at the moment, if we may say
so.</i>
It's an illusion.
<>Your reply might be taken as confirmation of critical
comments that you are "an incorrigible leg puller, " "a
mystificator, " and "a literary<> agent provocateur. " <i>How
do</i> you <i>view yourself? </i>
I think my favorite fact about myself is that I have never
been dismayed by a critic's bilge or bile, and have never once
in my life asked or thanked a reviewer for a review. My second
favorite fact-- or shall I stop at one?
<>No, please go on. </i>
The fact that since my youth-- I was 19 when I left
Russia-- my political creed has remained as bleak and
changeless as an old gray rock. It is classical to the point of
triteness. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of
art. The social or economic structure of the ideal state is of
little concern to me. My desires are modest. Portraits of the
head of the government should not exceed a postage stamp in
size. No torture and no executions. No music, except coming
through earphones, or played in theaters.
EFTA01068359
<>Why no music? </i>
I have no ear for music, a shortcoming I deplore bitterly.
When I attend a concert-- which happens about once in five
years-- I endeavor gamely to follow the sequence and
relationship of sounds but cannot keep it up for more than a
few minutes. Visual impressions, reflections of hands in
lacquered wood, a diligent bald spot over a fiddle, these take
over, and soon I am bored beyond measure by the motions of the
musicians. My knowledge of music is very slight; and I have a
special reason for finding my ignorance and inability so sad,
so unjust: There is a wonderful singer in my family-- my own
son. His great gifts, the rare beauty of his bass, and the
promise of a splendid career-- all this affects me deeply, and
I fee] a fool during a technical conversation among musicians.
I am perfectly aware of the many parallels between the art
forms of music and those of literature, especially in matters
of structure, but what can I do if ear and brain refuse to
cooperate? I have found a queer substitute for music in chess--
more exactly, in the composing of chess problems.
<>Another substitute, surely, has been your own
euphonious prose and poetry. As one of few authors who have
written with. eloquence in more than one language, how would
you characterize the textural differences between Russian and
English, in which you are regarded as equally facile? </i>
In sheer number of words, English is far richer than
Russian. This is especially noticeable in nouns and adjectives.
A very bothersome feature that Russian presents is the dearth,
vagueness, and clumsiness of technical terms.
For example, the simple phrase "to park a car" comes out--
if translated back from the Russian-- as "to leave an
automobile standing for a long time." Russian, at least polite
Russian, is more formal than polite English. Thus, the Russian
word for "sexual"-- <i>polovoy-- </i>is slightly indecent and
not to be bandied around. The same applies to Russian terms
rendering various anatomical and biological notions that are
frequently and familiarly expressed in English conversation. On
the other hand, there are words rendering certain nuances of
motion and gesture and emotion in which Russian excels. Thus by
changing the head of a verb, for which one may have a dozen
different prefixes to choose from, one is able to make Russian
express extremely fine shades of duration and intensity.
English is, syntactically, an extremely flexible medium, but
Russian can be given even more subtle twists and turns.
Translating Russian into English is a little easier than
translating English into Russian, and 10 times easier than
translating English into French.
<i>You have said you will never write another novel in
Russian. Why? </i>
EFTA01068360
During the great, and still unsung, era of Russian
intellectual expatriation-- roughly between 1920 and 1940--
books written in Russian by emigre Russians and published by
emigre firms abroad <i>werecii> eagerly bought or borrowed by
emigre readers but were absolutely banned in Soviet Russia-- as
they still are (except in the case of a few dead authors such
as Kuprin and Bunin, whose heavily censored works have been
recently reprinted there), no matter the theme of the story or
poem. An emigre novel, published, say, in Paris and sold over
all free Europe, might have, in those years, a total sale of
1,000 or 2,000 copies-- that would be a best seller-- but every
copy would also pass from hand to hand and be read by at least
20 persons, and at least 50 annually if stocked by Russian
lending libraries, of which there were hundreds in West Europe
alone. The era of expatriation can be said to have ended during
World War II. Old writers died, Russian publishers also
vanished, and worst of all, the general atmosphere of exile
culture, with its splendor, and vigor, and purity, and
reverberative force, dwindled to a sprinkle of Russian-language
periodicals, anemic in talent and provincial in tone. Now to
take my own case: It was not the financial side that really
mattered; I don't think my Russian writings ever brought me
more than a few hundred dollars per year, and I am all for the
ivory tower, and for writing to please one reader alone-- one's
own self. But one also needs some reverberation, if not
response, and a moderate multiplication of one's self
throughout a country or countries; and if there be nothing but
a void around one's desk, one would expect it to be at least a
sonorous void, and not circumscribed by the walls of a padded
cell. With the passing of years I grew less and less interested
in Russia and more and more indifferent to the once-harrowing
thought that my books would remain banned there as long as my
contempt for the police state and political oppression
prevented me from entertaining the vaguest thought of return.
No, I will not write another novel in Russian, though I do
allow myself a very few short poems now and then. I wrote my
last Russian novel a quarter of a century ago. But today, in
compensation, in a spirit of justice to my little American
muse, I am doing something else. But perhaps I should not talk
about it at this early stage.
<i>Please do. <it>
Well, it occurred to me one day-- while I was glancing at
the varicolored spines of <i>Lolita<i> translations into
languages I do not read, such as Japanese, Finnish or Arabic--
that the list of unavoidable blunders in these fifteen or
twenty versions would probably make, if collected, a fatter
volume than any of them. I had checked the French translation,
which was basically very good yet would have bristled with
unavoidable errors had I not corrected them. But what could I
do with Portuguese or Hebrew or Danish? Then I imagined
something else. I imagined that in some distant future somebody
might produce a Russian version of <i>Lolita.<i> I trained my
EFTA01068361
inner telescope upon that particular point in the distant
future and I saw that every paragraph, pock-marked as it is
with pitfalls, could lend itself to hideous mistranslation. In
the hands of a harmful drudge, the Russian version of
<i>Lolita</i> would be entirely degraded and botched by vulgar
paraphrases or blunders. So I decided to translate it myself.
Up to now I have about sixty pages ready.
<i>Are you presently at work on any new project? <A>
Good question, as they say on the lesser screen. I have
just finished correcting the last proofs of my work on
Pushkin's <i>Eugene Onegin-- </i>four fat little volumes which
are to appear this year in the Bollingen Series; the actual
translation of the poem occupies a small section of volume one.
The rest of the volume and volumes two, three and four contain
copious notes on the subject. This opus owes its birth to a
casual remark my wife made in 1950-- in response to my disgust
with rhymed paraphrases of <i>Eugene Onegin,</i> every line of
which I had to revise for my students-- "Why don't you
translate it yourself?" This is the result. It has taken some
ten years of labor. The index alone runs to 5,000 cards in
three long shoe boxes; you see them over there on that shelf.
My translation is, of course, a literal one, a crib, a pony.
And to the fidelity of transposal I have sacrificed everything:
elegance, euphony, clarity, good taste, modern usage, and even
grammar.
<i>In view of these admitted flaws, are you looking
forward to reading the reviews of the book? cti>
I really don't read reviews about myself with any special
eagerness or attention unless they are masterpieces of wit and
acumen-- which does happen now and then. And I never reread
them, though my wife collects the stuff, and though maybe I
shall use a spatter of the more hilarious <i>Lolita</i> items
to write someday a brief history of the nymphet's tribulations.
I remember, however, quite vividly, certain attacks by Russian
emigre critics who wrote about my first novels 30 years ago;
not that I was more vulnerable then, but my memory was
certainly more retentive and enterprising, and I was a reviewer
myself. In the nineteen-twenties I was clawed at by a certain
Mochulski who could never stomach my utter indifference to
organized mysticism, to religion, to the church-- any church.
There were other critics who could not forgive me for keeping
aloof from literary "movements," for not airing the
<i>"angoisse"<i> that they wanted poets to feel, and for not
belonging to any of those groups of poets that held sessions of
common inspiration in the back rooms of Parisian cafes. There
was also the amusing case of Georgiy lvanov, a good poet but a
scurrilous critic. I never met him or his literary wife Irina
Odoevtsev; but one day in the late nineteen-twenties or early
nineteen-thirties, at a time when I regularly reviewed books
for an emigre newspaper in Berlin, she sent me from Paris a
EFTA01068362
copy of a novel of hers with the wily inscription <i>"Spasibo
za<i> Korolya, <i>damn, valetatc-/i> (thanks for <i>King,
Queen, Knave)— <,/i>which I was free to understand as "Thanks
for writing that book," but which might also provide her with
the alibi: "Thanks for sending me your book," though I never
sent her anything. <i>HercJi> book proved to be pitifully
trite, and I said so in a brief and nasty review, lvanov
retaliated with a grossly personal article about me and my
stuff. The possibility of venting or distilling friendly or
unfriendly feelings through the medium of literary criticism is
what makes that art such a skewy one.
<i>You have been quoted as saying: My pleasures are the
most intense known to man: butterfly hunting and writing. Are
they in any way comparable? <Ji>
No, they belong essentially to quite different types of
enjoyment. Neither is easy to describe to a person who has not
experienced it, and each is so obvious to the one who has that
a description would sound crude and redundant. In the case of
butterfly hunting I think I can distinguish four main elements.
First, the hope of capturing-- or the actual capturing-- of the
first specimen of a species unknown to science: this is the
dream at the back of every lepidopterist's mind, whether he be
climbing a mountain in New Guinea or crossing a bog in Maine.
Secondly, there is the capture of a very rare or very local
butterfly-- things you have gloated over in books, in obscure
scientific reviews, on the splendid plates of famous works, and
that you now see on the wing, in their natural surroundings,
among plants and minerals that acquire a mysterious magic
through the intimate association with the rarities they produce
and support, so that a given landscape lives twice: as a
delightful wilderness in its own right and as the haunt of a
certain butterfly or moth. Thirdly, there is the naturalist's
interest in disentangling the life histories of little-known
insects, in learning about their habits and structure, and in
determining their position in the scheme of classification-- a
scheme which can be sometimes pleasurably exploded in a
dazzling display of polemical fireworks when a new discovery
upsets the old scheme and confounds its obtuse champions. And
fourthly, one should not ignore the element of sport, of luck,
of brisk motion and robust achievement, of an ardent and
arduous quest ending in the silky triangle of a folded
butterfly lying on the palm of one's hand.
<>What about the pleasures of writing? cti>
They correspond exactly to the pleasures of reading, the
bliss, the felicity of a phrase is shared by writer and reader:
by the satisfied writer and the grateful reader, or-- which is
the same thing-- by the artist grateful to the unknown force in
his mind that has suggested a combination of images and by the
artistic reader whom this combination satisfies.
EFTA01068363
Every good reader has enjoyed a few good books in his life
so why analyze delights that both sides know? I write mainly
for artists, fellow-artists and follow-artists. However, I
could never explain adequately to certain students in my
literature classes, the aspects of good reading-- the fact that
you read an artist's book not with your heart (the heart is a
remarkably stupid reader), and not with your brain alone, but
with your brain and spine. "Ladies and gentlemen, the tingle in
the spine really tells you what the author felt and wished you
to feel." I wonder if I shall ever measure again with happy
hands the breadth of a lectern and plunge into my notes before
the sympathetic abyss of a college audience.
<i>What is your reaction to the mixed feelings vented by
one critic in a review which characterized you as having a fine
and original mind, but "not much trace of a generalizing
intellect, "and as "the typical artist who distrusts ideas"?
</i>
In much the same solemn spirit, certain crusty
lepidopterists have criticized my works on the classification
of butterflies, accusing me of being more interested in the
subspecies and the subgenus than in the genus and the family.
This kind of attitude is a matter of mental temperament, I
suppose. The middlebrow or the upper Philistine cannot get rid
of the furtive feeling that a book, to be great, must deal in
great ideas. Oh, I know the type, the dreary type! He likes a
good yarn spiced with social comment; he likes to recognize his
own thoughts and throes in those of the author; he wants at
least one of the characters to be the author's stooge. If
American, he has a dash of Marxist blood, and if British, he is
acutely and ridiculously class-conscious; he finds it so much
easier to write about ideas than about words; he does not
realize that perhaps the reason he does not find general ideas
in a particular writer is that the particular ideas of that
writer have not yet become general.
<i>Dostoevski, who dealt with themes accepted by most
readers as universal in both scope and significance, is
considered one of the world's great authors. Yet you have
described him as "a cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. "
Why? <i>
Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not
all Russians love Dostoevski as much as Americans do, and that
most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not
as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a
slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his
tremendous, farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his
sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be
endured for one moment-- by this reader anyway.
<i>Is it true that you have called Hemingway and Conrad
"writers of books for boys"? <i>
EFTA01068364
That's exactly what they are. Hemingway is certainly the
better of the two; he has at least a voice of his own and is
responsible for that delightful, highly artistic short story,
"The Killers." And the description of the iridescent fish and
rhythmic urination in his famous fish story is superb. But I
cannot abide Conrad's souvenir-shop style, bottled ships and
shell necklaces of romanticist cliches. In neither of those two
writers can I find anything that I would care to have written
myself. In mentality and emotion, they are hopelessly juvenile,
and the same can be said of some other beloved authors, the
pets of the common room, the consolation and support of
graduate students, such as-- but some are still alive, and I
hate to hurt living old boys while the dead ones are not yet
buried.
<i>What did you read when</i> you <>were a boy? cJi>
Between the ages of ten and fifteen in St. Petersburg, I
must have read more fiction and poetry-- English, Russian and
French-- than in any other five-year period of my life. I
relished especially the works of Wells, Poe, Browning, Keats,
Flaubert, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Chekhov, Tolstoy, and Alexander
Blok. On another level, my heroes were the Scarlet Pimpernel,
Phileas Fogg, and Sherlock Holmes. In other words, I <i>was</i>
a perfectly normal trilingual child in a family with a large
library. At a later period, in Western Europe, between the ages
of 20 and 40, my favorites were Housman, Rupert Brooke, Norman
Douglas, Bergson, Joyce, Proust, and Pushkin. Of these top
favorites, several-- Poe, Jules Verne, Emmuska Orezy, Conan
Doyle, and Rupert Brooke-- have lost the glamour and thrill
they held for me. The others remain intact and by now are
probably beyond change as far as I am concerned. I was never
exposed in the twenties and thirties, as so many of my coevals
have been, to the poetry of the not quite first-rate Eliot and
of definitely second-rate Pound. I read them late in the
season, around 1945, in the guest room of an American friend's
house, and not only remained completely indifferent to them,
but could not understand why anybody should bother about them.
But I suppose that they preserve some sentimental value for
such readers as discovered them at an earlier age than I did.
<i>What are your reading habits today? </i>
Usually I read several books at a time-- old books, new
books, fiction, nonfiction, verse, anything-- and when the
bedside heap of a dozen volumes or so has dwindled to two or
three, which generally happens by the end of one week, I
accumulate another pile. There are some varieties of fiction
that I never touch-- mystery stories, for instance, which I
abhor, and historical novels. I also detest the so-called
"powerful" novel-- full of commonplace obscenities and torrents
of dialogue-- in fact, when I receive a new novel from a
hopeful publisher-- "hoping that I like the hook as much as he
EFTA01068365
does"-- 1 check first of all how much dialogue there is, and if
it looks too abundant or too sustained, I shut the book with a
bang and ban it from my bed.
<i>Are there any contemporary authors you do enjoy
reading? <i>
I do have a few favorites-- for example, Robbe-Grillet and
Borges. How freely and gratefully one breathes in their
marvelous labyrinths! I love their lucidity of thought, the
purity and poetry, the mirage in the mirror.
<i>Many critics feel that this description applies no less
aptly to your own prose. To what extent do you feel that prose
and poetry intermingle as art forms? .c-/i>
Except that I started earlier-- that's the answer to the
first part of your question. As to the second: Well, poetry, of
course, includes all creative writing; I have never been able
to see any generic difference between poetry and artistic
prose. As a matter of fact, I would be inclined to define a
good poem of any length as a concentrate of good prose, with or
without the addition of recurrent rhythm and rhyme. The magic
of prosody may improve upon wAhat we call prose by bringing out
the full flavor of meaning, but in plain prose there are also
certain rhythmic patterns, the music of precise phrasing, the
beat of thought rendered by recurrent peculiarities of idiom
and intonation. As in today's scientific classifications, there
is a lot of overlapping in our concept of poetry and prose
today. The bamboo bridge between them is the metaphor.
<i>You have also written that poetry represents "the
mysteries of the irrational perceived through rational words. "
But many feel that the "irrational" has little place in an age
when the exact knowledge of science has begun to plumb the most
profound mysteries of existence. Do you agree? <i>
This appearance is very deceptive. It is a journalistic
illusion. In point of fact, the greater one's science, the
deeper the sense of mystery. Moreover, I don't believe that any
science today has pierced any mystery. We, as newspaper
readers, are inclined to call "science" the cleverness of an
electrician or a psychiatrist's mumbo jumbo. This, at best, is
applied science, and one of the characteristics of applied
science is that yesterday's neutron or today's truth dies
tomorrow. But even in a better sense of "science"-- as the
study of visible and palpable nature, or the poetry of pure
mathematics and pure philosophy-- the situation remains as
hopeless as ever. We shall never know the origin of life, or
the meaning of life, or the nature of space and time, or the
nature of nature, or the nature of thought.
<i>Man's understanding of these mysteries is embodied in
his concept of a Divine Being. As a final question, do you

believe in God? cii>
To be quite candid-- and what I am going to say now is
something I never said before, and I hope it provokes a
salutary little chill-- I know more than I can express in
words, and the little I can express would not have been
expressed, had I not known more.

It occurs to me that we ought to be able to do some of the work through
e-mail. Which raises this fascinating question--What kind of
understanding of another person can e-mail give you? ... </p>
<p>You could begin by telling me what you think is unique about e-mail as a form of communicati
on. </p>
<p>John</p><Jul>
<p> I hit "return," and the computer said, "mail sent."
I walked out to the kitchen to get a drink of water and played with the
cat for a while, then came back and sat at my computer. Thinking that I
was probably wasting money, I nevertheless logged on again and entered
my password. <,/p>
<p> "You have mail," the computer said. </p>
<p> I typed "get mail," and the computer got the following: </p>
<ul>cp>From: Bill Gates <billg@microsoft.com>
Ok, let me know if you get this email.</billg@microsoft.com></p></ul>
<p> According to my computer, eighteen minutes had
passed between the time I E-mailed Bill and he E-mailed me back. His
message said: </p>
<ul><p>E-mail is a unique communication vehicle for a lot of reasons. However email is not a sub
stitute for direct interaction.... <Jp>
<p>There are people who I have corresponded with on
email for months before actually meeting them--people at work and
otherwise. If someone isn't saying something of interest its easier to
not respond to their mail than it is not to answer the phone. In fact I
give out my home phone number to almost no one but my email address is
known very broadly. I am the only person who reads my email so no one
has to worry about embarrassing themselves or going around people when
they send a message. Our email is completely secure.... </p>
<p>Email helps out with other types of communication.
It allows you to exchange a lot of information in advance of a meeting
and make the meeting far far more valuable... </p>
<p>Email is not a good way to get mad at someone since
you can't interact. You can send friendly messages very easily since
those are harder to misinterpret.</p>c/ul>
<p>We began to E-mail each other three or four times a
week. I would have a question about something and say to myself, "I'm
going to E-mail Bill about that," and I'd write him a message and get a
one- or two-page message back within twenty-four hours, sometimes much
sooner. At the beginning of our electronic relationship, I would wake up
in the middle of the night and lie in bed wondering if I had E-mail
EFTA01068373
from Bill. Generally, he seemed to write messages at night, sleep
(maybe), then send them the next morning. We were intimate in a curious
way, in the sense of being wired into each other's minds, but our
contact was elaborately stylized, like ballroom dancing. </p>
<p>ln some ways, my E-mail relationship with Bill was
like an ongoing, monthlong conversation, except that there was a pause
after each response to think; it was like football players huddling up
after each play. There was no beginning or end to Gates' messages--no
time wasted on stuff like "Dear" and "Yours"--and I quickly corrected
this etiquette breach in my own messages. Nor were there any
fifth-grade-composition-book standards like "It may have come to your
attention that" and "Looking forward to hearing from you." Social
niceties are not what Bill Gates is about. Good spelling is not what
Bill Gates is about, either. He never signed his messages to me, but
sometimes he put an "&" at the end, which, I learned, means "Write
back" in E-mail language. After a while, he stopped putting the "&,"
but I wrote back anyway. He never addressed me by name. Instead of a
letterhead, there was this: </p>

<p>For years after the telephone was invented, in 1876,
people thought it was a device that would transmit news, drama, and
music: the idea that the telephone was a way to talk to other people
took about twenty years to sink in here, and about thirty years in
Europe. Similarly, today one hears about shopping, banking, and renting
movies on the information highway. These are all possible ways of making
money, of course, but the point of the information highway, it seems to
me, is that it offers a new way of talking to other people. The trouble
people have understanding this simple point is the same trouble people
in the nineteenth century had understanding the telephone.</pciul>
<p>
<b>Bill Gates, aged<b> thirty-eight, is one of
the richest men in the country--the richest in 1992, and the second
richest, after the investor Warren Buffett, in 1993, with a fortune of
six billion one hundred and sixty million dollars, according to Forbes.
Last March, when he announced his engagement to Melinda French, a
twenty-nine-year-old manager at Microsoft, the news made the front page
of the Wall Street Journal. Gates controls the computer industry to an
extent matched by no other person in any other major industry. The
Justice Department is currently trying to determine whether his control
EFTA01068374
constitutes a monopoly. </p>
<p>Microsoft now supplies eighty per cent of all the
personal-computer operating-system software in the world--that is, the
layer of software that translates your commands so that the computer can
act on them--and fifty per cent of all the application software, which
is the tools, like Microsoft Word (writing) and Excel (accounting), that
run on top of the operating system. Microsoft uses its leverage in the
operating-system market as a competitive advantage in the applications
market--a practice that is not nice but is not necessarily illegal. "You
could say, as I have said to Bill, that having achieved this much power
you should turn your attention to being magnanimous," a rival software
executive told me. "But Bill believes that now is not the time for
statesmanship. Now is the time to conquer new foes, plunder new lands.
He doesn't like being compared to John D. Rockefeller--he goes, 'Hey,
I'm not a grasping monopolist, am 17--but he doesn't know how to behave
any other way. To hold war councils and to design strategies with the
explicit aim of crushing an opponent--this is very American. You know,
Mother Teresa is not going to build the broadband network of the
future." <fp>
<p>Recently, the wife of a software developer was
listening to her husband describe for me what it was like to be in the
same industry as Bill Gates: he was saying, in a pained but stoical way,
that maybe Gates didn't have to be quite so competitive now that he had
achieved great power, and that it might be better for the computer
industry as a whole if he behaved in a more benevolent way, when his
wife interrupted and said to me, "No. You don't understand. We talk
about Bill Gates every night at home. We think about Bill Gates all the
time. It's like Bill Gates lives with us." This enveloping sense of Bill
Gates is hard for someone outside the computer industry to fathom. To
people who are unfamiliar with computers, Gates is just a nerd, and if
you try to get them to square the negative connotation of the word
"nerd" with Gates' incredible success, and with the fact that, far from
being on the margin of society, Gates is now in a position to determine
what society is like, they're likely to say, "Well, I guess it really is
the revenge of the nerds." Actually, Gates probably represents the end
of the word "nerd" as we know it. </p>
<p>But all Gates' influence and success are small
potatoes compared with the influence he could have and with the
opportunity that now lies before him. The computer, which in twenty-five
years has evolved from a room-size mainframe into a laptop device,
appears to be turning into a new kind of machine. The new machine will
be a communications device that connects people to the information
highway. It will penetrate far beyond the fifteen per cent of American
households that now own a computer, and it will control, or absorb,
other communications machines now in people's homes--the phone, the fax,
the television. It will sit in the living room, not in the study. The
problem of getting people to feel comfortable with such a powerful
machine will be partly solved by putting it inside one of the most
unobtrusive objects in the house--the set-top converter, which is the
featureless black box on top of a cable-connected TV set (the one the
cat likes to sit on if the VCR is occupied). </p>
EFTA01068375
<p>Gates would like to have his software inside that
box. Microsoft's ambition is to supply the standard operating-system
software for the information-highway machine, just as it now supplies
the standard operating-system software, called Windows, for the personal
computer. Microsoft has two billion dollars in cash, and no debt, and
is spending a hundred million dollars a year developing software for the
new machine, which is a lot more than anyone else is spending. The plan
is first to supply the software that allows people to rent videos over
the TV and makes home shopping more attractive, and then to use money
from the video-rental and home-shopping businesses to pay for the
development of the rest of the software. Therefore, Gates is now meeting
with people like Mike Ovitz and Barry Diller to discuss better ways of
delivering their products into people's homes. "I actually requested a
meeting with him," Ovitz told me last October. "I flew up to Seattle and
we had dinner together and spent three or four hours just talking about
the future." </p>
<p>"Could you say specifically what you talked about?" </p>
<p>"It was just very deep stuff about the future." </p>
<p>"Well, for example, did you talk about information-highway software?" </p>
<p>"It goes much deeper than that." </p>
<p>At Microsoft's main office, in Redmond, a suburb of
Seattle, I saw a demo of an early version of the company's operating
software for the information-highway machine, in which the user points
at the TV screen with a remote control, clicks onto icons, and selects
from menus. I heard a lot about "intelligent agents," which will at
first be animated characters that occasionally appear in the corner of
your TV screen and inform you, for example, that President Aristide is
on "Meet the Press," because they know you're interested in Haitian
politics, but will eventually be out there on the information highway,
filtering the torrent of information roaring along it, picking out books
or articles or movies for you, or receiving messages from individuals.
As the agents become steadily more intelligent, they will begin to
replace more and more of the functions of human intelligent
agents--stockbrokers, postal workers, travel agents, librarians,
editors, reporters. While I was at Microsoft, I sometimes felt like
Prey- <P>
<p>Gates' greatest disadvantage in this new market is
that Microsoft doesn't own any wires into people's homes, nor does it
have the computers installed to handle all the switching and billing
that two-way communication requires. To solve this problem, Microsoft
needs to make an alliance with a cable company or a telephone company,
or both. Microsoft has an alliance with Intel Corporation, the world's
leading manufacturer of microprocessors, and General Instrument, a maker
of set-top converters, but it is not a very powerful alliance compared
with Bell Atlantic's alliance with Tele-Communications, Inc., the
largest cable company in the United States, or with U S West's alliance
with Time Warner, the second-largest cable company. Gates is currently
EFTA01068376
negotiating an alliance involving Time Warner and Tele-Communications,
Inc.--a kind of granddaddy of all alliances, which would have the power
to set the standard for the information--highway machine. A major issue
in the negotiations will be the extent to which Microsoft would own the
software in the machine. Gates would like to retain the rights to the
software; Gerald Levin, the C.E.O. of Time Warner, and John Malone, the
C.E.O. of T.C.I., will not want to give Gates those rights. <,/p
<p>lf Gates does succeed in providing the operating
system for the new machine, he will have tremendous influence over the
way people communicate with one another: he, more than anyone else, will
determine what it is like to use the information highway. Another
advantage Bill Gates has is that he already lives on the information
highway. </p>
<b>New employees<A> at Microsoft are likely to
encounter Bill Gates electronically long before they meet him in person.
Some get to thinking of him by his E-mail handle, which is "billg,"
rather than by his real name. You'll be chatting with a Microsoft
employee in the employee's office, the computer will make a little belch
or squeak, indicating an incoming piece of electronic mail, and it'll
be E-mail from Bill. It is not unusual to hear a young employee say,
"Hey, that's a good idea, I'm going to E-mail Bill about that." While I
was attending a lunchtime cookout at Microsoft headquarters one day, I
heard several people start conversations by asking about E-mail from
Bill: "Did so it mail from Bill today?" "Did you see Bill's mail?"
Billand were in Africa at the time, touring the valley where
the oldest human skeleton, Lucy, was discovered, but I had the sense
that he was present, in the network, flying around the Microsoft campus
and popping into people's computers. <,/p>
<p>The Microsoft campus looks like a college campus:
there are playing fields, and employees in T-shirts and jeans who aren't
much older than college students. Nowhere on earth do more millionaires
and billionaires go to work every day than do so here--about twenty-two
hundred of the fifteen thousand employees own at least a million
dollars' worth of Microsoft stock--but the campus is in no respect
worldly. Workers spend much of their day staring into large computer
monitors and occasionally exploding into a rapid fingering of keys.
Empty soda cans and cardboard latte cups collect on their desks.
Designing software--or "writing code," as people in the trade say--is a
sort of intellectual handiwork. Operating systems, the most monumental
of all software constructions, are like medieval cathedrals: thousands
of laborers toil for years on small parts of them, each one working by
hand, fashioning zeros and ones into patterns that control switches
inside microprocessors, which constitute the brains of a computer. The
platonic nature of software--it is invisible, weightless, and odorless;
it doesn't exist in the physical world--determines much of the culture
that surrounds it. At Microsoft, workers often describe each other as
"smart" or "supersmart" or "one of the smartest people you'll meet
around here," and it is almost an article of faith that Bill Gates, who
EFTA01068377
co-founded the company with Paul Allen, a friend from his high-school
days, in 1975, when he was nineteen years old, is the smartest person of
all. </p>
<p>"Bill is just smarter than everyone else," Mike
Maples, an executive vice-president of Microsoft, says. "There are
probably more smart people per square foot right here than anywhere else
in the world, but Bill is just smarter." </p>
<p>Gates' office is exactly twice as large as the
offices of junior employees, and his carpeting is a little richer than
the carpeting in other offices; otherwise, there is nothing fancy about
the place. A large monitor sits on his desk, and on the wall behind the
desk are pictures from important moments in Gates' career, many of which
coincide with important moments in the history of the personal
computer. There are also pictures of Gates' two sisters, and of his
mother and father. (No picture of Melinda French is visible, partly
because Gates wants to keep her job as normal as he can.) As in all the
Microsoft offices, one rarely hears the sound of a ringing phone. The
employees send a total of two hundred million E-mail messages to each
other every month. (Over at McCaw Cellular Communications, another
prominent high-tech company, whose headquarters is a few miles from
Microsoft's, phones ring all the time, and everyone wears a beeper.)
Gates spends at least two hours a day at his desk staring into his
monitor, reading and writing E-mail. E-mail allows Gates to run the
company in his head, in a sense. While he is working, he rocks. Whether
he is in business meetings, on airplanes, or listening to a speech, his
upper body rocks down to an almost forty-five-degree angle, rocks back
up, rocks down again. His elbows are often folded together, resting in
his crotch. He rocks at different levels of intensity according to his
mood. Sometimes people who are in the meetings begin to rock with him.
"I think it's just excess energy," Gates said to me about his rocking.
"I should stop, but I haven't yet. They claim I started at an extremely
young age. I had a rocking horse and they used to put me to sleep on my
rocking horse, and I think that addicted me." </p>
<p>Gates does not have the physical charisma of, say,
Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Computer. Like Lenin, Gates leads by
sheer force of intellect. He looks like a teen-ager, but not because he
actually looks younger than thirty-eight. In some ways, he looks
older--a very old little boy. It is the oddly undeveloped quality in his
pale, freckled face that makes him seem boyish. His hair is brown and
is almost always uncombed. He has heavy lips, which contort into odd
shapes when he talks. His characteristic pose when he is standing is
pelvis pushed forward slightly, one arm wrapped around his body, the
other arm occasionally going up into the air as he talks--kind of flying
up, almost spastically, with the palm outstretched, then settling again
somewhere on his chest. His voice is toneless, with a somewhat weary
note of enthusiasm permanently etched into it, and his vocabulary is
bland: "stuff' is "cool," "neat," "crummy," "super," "supercool." </p>
<p>When Gates was in his twenties, his mother
color-coordinated his clothes--he had green days, beige days, blue
days--and then the job was taken over by girlfriends, and now it will
EFTA01068378
presumably fall to his wife, but so far no one has really handled the
task successfully. "A lot of his friends have said, 'Bill, come on,
let's go on a shopping spree, we'll buy you some clothes,' but it never
works," Ann Winblad, who is now a highly respected venture capitalist in
Silicon Valley, and was the woman in Bill's life for five years, told
me. "Bill just doesn't think about clothes. And his hygiene is not good.
And his glasses--how can he see out of them? But Bill's attitude is:
I'm in this pure mind state, and clothes and hygiene are last on the
list." Esther Dyson, who edits a computer-industry newletter called
Release 1.0., says, "I'm told that within Microsoft certain people are
allowed to take Bill's glasses off and wipe them, but I've never done
it. You know, it's like--'Don't try this at home.' " </p>
<p>Gates is famously confrontational. If he strongly
disagrees with what you're saying, he is in the habit of blurting out,
"That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard!" People tell
stories of Gates spraying saliva into the face of some hapless employee
as he yells, "This stuff isn't hard! I could do this stuff in a
weekend!" What you're supposed to do in a situation like this, as in
encounters with grizzly bears, is stand your ground: if you flee, the
bear will think you're game and will pursue you, and you can't outrun a
bear. I had a chance to try this approach one day in Gates' office, when
I made a remark to him about Microsoft's antitrust problems, and he got
mad at me. I had mentioned the theory that Anne Bingaman, who is the
head of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, would not
have taken the highly unusual and public action of requesting the
Microsoft file from the Federal Trade Commission, which had pursued a
three-year investigation of Microsoft, if she had not felt she could
make a good case against the company. (In the end, the F.T.C. did not
file any charges.) All the soft planes in Gates' face contorted into an
expression of pure sarcasm. "I think you're a little confused," he said.
"You're saying that before they read even a single piece of paper they
judge what kind of case they have?" He choked slightly on his disgust
for my stupidity. "I think you're confused," he said again. "The Justice
Department chose to get the information to decide what to do. Saying
they have a pretty good case before they've read anything--is that how
these things work?" Going by the book, I answered that someone at the
F.T.C. could have told someone in the Justice Department that the case
against Microsoft was strong. This seemed to make the situation worse.
"Look," Gates said. "The Department of Justice is looking at these
files. You know? It's justice? You're supposed to have facts before you
decide things?" I felt a trickle of sweat run down my back. </p>
<p>AII the executives directly under Gates are male,
and almost all are in their mid-thirties. Nathan Mhyrvold, thirty-four,
who as a graduate student at Cambridge University interpreted for
Stephen Hawking, is in charge of new technology. Steve Ballmer,
thirty-seven, who is Gates' best friend, runs the numbers side of the
business. He and Gates met during freshman year at Harvard, when they
lived down the hall from each other. Cramming together for an
advanced-economics exam was a determining event in their relationship.
Ballmer acted this scene out for me, pacing around the room, waving his
arms, the shirttail of his oxford shirt poking out of his khakis, as he
cried, "'Yes! We're golden! We're going to pass! No! Shit! We're
EFTA01068379
screwed! We're going to fail! No! Yes! We're golden! We're screwed!'
We'd get real up or real down, and it's still that way. We love to get
up and down." </p>
<p>Ballmer is the reason Gates always flies coach when
he is traveling on business. "If you're going to work for this company,"
Ballmer told me, "you're going to rent a certain kind of car and stay
in a certain kind of hotel and fly coach, because that's business, and
anything else is just aggrandizement." Gates once chartered a plane
because he had to get somewhere in a hurry, but Ballmer gave him so much
grief that Gates is still explaining why he did it. Experienced fliers
into and out of Seattle know to scan the cabin for a man with a blanket
over his head-that's Bill Gates, taking a nap. </p>
<p>
<b>Because Bill Gates<A> was my first E-mail
relationship, I wasn't always sure how to comport myself electronically,
and occasionally I solicited advice from experienced E-mailers. Once,
while I was questioning a media analyst named Mark Stahlman about a
point of E-mail etiquette, he said to me, "Well, hey, you're not a
digital guy!" This line often popped into my head when I was E-mailing
Bill. Was I behaving like a digital guy? Is digital guyhood what nerds
will molt into when the information highway reaches everyone's door? One
evening, I was at home listening to some music, doing this geeky dance I
do and, as usual, wondering whether the Wall Street types across the
street were watching me, when I suddenly thought, Would Bill Gates care
about those guys? I took this as a sign I was becoming a digital guy.
Around the same time, I read an essay in <i>Wired</i> magazine by Paul
Saffo, who is a director of the Institute for the Future, a think tank
in Menlo Park, which argued that the information highway is going to
cause a flowering of personal expression not seen in our society since
the sixties, and that when this happens (maybe in five years) people
whom we now think of as computer nerds will have the same hipness that
in retrospect we now assign to beatniks. </p>
<p>I wrote Gates a message with the title "How does the
future make you feel?" (Putting a title on messages is one of the
different things about E-mail communication. It is a little like writing
a publicity release for what you have to say. However, it does focus
the message.) </p>
<ul><p>How does the rapid change in the power of
microprocessors make you feel? The certainty that microprocessors will
grow twice as fast every eighteen months and that nothing in Nature, no
fire or earthquake or tidal wave, is powerful enough to stop this from
happening. Are you thrilled by this? Do you think that this power is
God, as you understand God? Is it possible this power could be bad? </p></ul>
<p>Gates wrote back: </p>
<ul><p>Feelings are pretty personal. I love coming up
with new ideas or seeing in advance what is going to count and then
EFTA01068380
making it happen. I love working with smart people.... Our business
is very very competitive-one or two false moves and you can fall behind
in a way that would wipe you out. Market share does not give you the
right to relax. IBM is the best example of this. This is very scary but
also makes it very interesting. </p>
<p>The digital revolution is all about
facilitation--creating tools to make things easy. When I was a kid I was
a lot more curious than I am today--perhaps I have lost less curiosity
than the average adult but if I had had the information tools we are
building today I would know a lot more and not have given up learning
some things. </p>
<p>These tools will be really cool. Say today you want
to meet someone with similar interests to talk or take a trip together
or whatever? Its hard and somewhat random. Say you want to make sure you
pick a good doctor or read a good book? We can make all of these things
work so well--its empowering stuff.
Enough for now.</p></ul><p></p>
<p>I wrote a message titled "TV as the Opium of the People":</p>
<ul>cp>Some people are afraid of interactive TV. TV is a
drug, goes the argument, and the technology that Microsoft and others
are supplying is going to make the drug stronger. People will be inside
more than ever, cut off from their neighbors, watching interactive
monster truck contests. Or porno. They will pile up large cable and
credit card charges. A "T. S. Eliot wasteland ... a nation of
housebound zombies," as Michael Eisner put it recently in a speech. Do
you think this could happen? What difference does it make if you invent
smart boxes to deliver dumb programming?</p</ul>
<p>Gates wrote: </p>
<ul>cp>Interactive TV is probably a really bad name for the in-home device connected to the infor
mation highway. </p>
<p>Lets say I am sitting at home wondering about some
new drug that was prescribed to me. Or wanting to ask a question to my
children's teacher. Or curious about my social security status. Or
wondering about crime in my neighborhood. Or wanting to exchange
information with other people thinking about visiting Tanzania. Or
wondering if the new lawn mower I want to buy works well and if its a
good price. Or I want to ask people who read a book what they thought of
it </p<p>before I take my time reading it. In all of
these cases being able to reach out and communicate by using a messaging
or bulletin board type system lets me do something I could never do
before. Assume that the infrastructure and device to do this is easy to
use and it was funded by the cable or phone company primarily because I
like to watch movies and video-conference with my relatives. </p>
<p>All of the above is about how adults will use the system. Kids will use it in ways we can't even
imagine. </p>
EFTA01068381
<p>The opportunity for people to reach out and share is
amazing. This doesnt mean you will spend more time inside! It means you
will use your time more effectively and get to do the things you like
more than in the past as well as doing new things. </p>
<p>If you like to get outside you will find out a lot
more about the places that are not crowded and find good companions to
go with. </p>
<p>The bottom line is that 2 way communication is a
very different beast than 1 way communication. In some ways a phone that
has an unbelievable directory, lets you talk or send messages to lots
of people, and works with text and pictures is a better analogy than TV.
The phone did change the world by making it a smaller place. This will
be even more dramatic. There will be some secondary effects that people
will worry about but they won't be the same as TV. We are involved in
creating a new media but it is not up to us to be the censors or
referees of this media--it is up to public policy to make those
decisions. </p>
<p>Because TV had very few channels the value of TV
time was very high so only things of very broad interest could be aired
on those few channels. The information highway will be the opposite of
this--more like the library of congress but with an easy way to find
things.</p>c/ul>
<p>I sometimes felt that this correspondence was a game
I was playing with Gates through the computer, or maybe a game I was
playing against a computer. What is the right move? What question will
get me past the dragon and into the wizard's star chamber, where the
rich information is stored? I had no idea where Gates was when he wrote
to me, except that once he told me he was on a "think week" at his
family's summer place on Hood Canal. I could not tell whether he was
impatient or bored with my questions and was merely answering them
because it served his interest. Because we couldn't talk at the same
time, there was little chance for the conversation to move
spontaneously. On the other hand, his answers meant more, in a certain
way, being written, than answers I would have received on the phone. I
worried that he might think I was being "random" (a big putdown at
Microsoft) because I jumped from topic to topic. I sometimes wondered if
I was actually communicating with Bill Gates. How hard would it be for
an assistant to write these messages? Or for an intelligent agent to do
it? </p>
<p>I wrote a message titled "What motivates you?": </p>
<uI><p>You love to compete, right? Is that where your
energy comes from--love of the game? I wonder how it feels to win on
your level. How much do you fear losing? How about immortality--being
remembered for a thousand years after you're dead--does that excite you?
How strong is your desire to improve people's lives (by providing them
with better tools for thinking and communicating)? Some driven people
are trying to heal a wound or to recover a loss. Is that the case with
you?</p>c/ul>

<p>I sent a message asking how much of his money Gates was planning on giving away: </p>
<ul>cp>Will there one day be a Gates Foundation, the

do you feel a sense of social responsibility? What kinds of philanthropy
would you like your money to perform? How do you feel about leaving a

<p>Gates replied: </p>
<ul>cp>I think that giving money away takes a lot of
effort. Not as much effort as making it but still a lot to do it
properly. Therefore when I am old and have time I will put some effort
into that. Assuming I still have a lot of money by the time I retire
which is certainly no certain thing I will give away well over 90% of it
since I dont believe in kids having too much money. I am like my friend
Warren Buffett in this respect. I have already done some giving like to
UW for a biotechnology department [Gate gave the University of
Washington twelve million dollars] and some to Stanford for a computer
science building [six million] and some to United Way which I really
believe in. I do believe in funding great research so some of my
philanthropy will relate to that. Some to humans service activities.
Some to education. Some to population control efforts if it looks like
donations can really help there.</p></ul>
<p>I wrote mail about "The Great Gatsby," which is one
of Gates' favorite books. ("The Catcher in the Rye" and "A Separate
Peace" are other favorites.) Gates dressed as Gatsby for his thirtieth
birthday, and again for an engagement party that friends and colleagues
in Silicon Valley threw for him and Melinda in September. (Melinda
dressed as Daisy Buchanan.) </p>

<p>Once, when I was composing E-mail to Gates on an
airplane, I felt physically closer to him than when I was composing from
home. Perhaps I was thinking of all the thousands of people who have
encountered this remarkable person on airplanes, restlessly wandering
the aisles with his shoes off, or sitting in a seat staring into the
screen of his laptop computer, rocking, writing E-mail that will be
fired into the network when the plane lands and send hundreds of people
at Microsoft scurrying into action. </p>
<p>Many executives in the telegraph industry, which had
enjoyed control of the communications field since about 1840, believed
that the telephone did not present a threat to their business, because
no one would want a communications machine that did not leave a written
record of the conversation, as telegrams did. When William Orton, the
president of Western Union, which was the Microsoft of its day, was
offered the opportunity to buy Alexander Graham Bell's patent on the
telephone for a hundred thousand dollars, he is said to have replied,
"What use could this company make of an electric toy?" This remark seems
less dim to me now. </p>

<b>Technological changee-,/b> is not democratic,
but if we did have a choice would we vote for a man who sometimes
behaves like a ten-year-old boy to be the principal architect of the way
we communicate with each other in the future? Or is it Gates' gift that
he isn't socialized in a way you'd expect a corporate executive to be.
When I was ten, I would sit around with my friends watching it snow, and
someone would say, "I wonder what the deepest snowfall ever was," or
something like that, and someone else would say, "Yeah, it would be cool
to know that." It seemed that there should be this giant, all-knowing
brain, which could answer that kind of question. One of the lessons you
learn in becoming an adult is that it doesn't always pay to be curious.
Some people learn to avoid curiosity altogether. Gates appears to have
completely failed to absorb this lesson. My impression is that he still
has the fantasy of the giant, all-knowing brain, and that this is what
the information highway means to him. It's a place where curiosity is
rewarded. </p>
<p>Not long ago, Paul Saffo, of the Institute for the
Future, said to me, "Bill Gates is an introvert. He is not the kind of
person you want building the social network of the future." Ann Winblad,
Gates' former girlfriend, told me, "People who know Bill know that you
have to bring him into a group--say, 'Hey, Bill, tell us the story of
such-and-such'--because he doesn't have the social skills to do it on
EFTA01068385
his own. But that doesn't mean he isn't social. Bill is an open,
emotional guy--very. He's actually more open with his feelings than most
men I know. He is not afraid to express fear, or sadness, but hardly
anyone sees that. You can't show that when you're in Bill's position,
when everyone is watching your tiniest gesture. It's not good leadership
to show weakness." An executive with a leading competitor of
Microsoft's says of Gates, "Hey--I think the guy is truly dangerous.
Bill is the most surprisingly conscience-free individual I've ever met,
and that amount of power in the hands of a guy without a conscience is
dangerous. Big Brother did not happen in 1984, but it could happen in
2004. Ask yourself, 'If there was to be a technology-oriented dictator
by the year 2004, who would he be? Bill Gates?' "</p>
<p>Gates argues that Microsoft has to behave
aggressively because of a principle called Moore's Law, which is named
after Gordon Moore, one of the founders of the Intel Corporation.
Moore's Law is the reason the computer industry is fundamentally
different from any other industry in history. It states that
microprocessors get twice as powerful, or twice as cheap, every eighteen
months. This means that in twenty years what now takes a year of
computing will take fifteen minutes. We have no idea what we are going
to do with this power, but it will exist whether we want it to or not. </p>
<p>No natural calamity or political upheaval short of
world-wide anarchy is powerful enough to stop it. Nathan Mhyrvold, of
Microsoft, said to me, "Nature has already signed off on this stuff."
Moore's Law is the primary reason that all the companies that dominated
the computer industry in the nineteen-seventies are now struggling or
gone, and the reason that Microsoft, for all its power, could disappear
in a decade. </p>
<p>Scott McNealy, the head of Sun Microsystems, which
is a leading manufacturer of computer workstations, told me, "I like
Bill. Bill is a smart guy. But I think the problem is that Microsoft has
caught the bunny. You know, when you go to the dog track they have that
mechanical bunny that makes the dogs run? Well, sometimes a dog is so
fast he catches the bunny and then the other dogs don't run anymore.
That's the situation in the software business today: Bill has caught the
bunny. I admire Bill for catching the bunny, but now we can't have a
race. He ought to be loosed from the bunny, to give the other dogs a
chance." </p>
<p>The argument that Microsoft is shaping up to be the
Standard Oil of the Information Age and that the government ought to
loose Bill from the bunny before this happens is now being heard within
the Department of Justice. As the head of the Department's Antitrust
Division, Anne Bingaman is an anti-monopolist, the sort of person who
was common around the Justice Department in the nineteen-thirties and
forties, and was thoroughly weeded out in the eighties, a period during
which the laws on what constitutes a monopoly were relaxed, making it
harder for people like Bingaman to operate. Now Bingaman is expected to
regain some of the ground lost by the anti-monopolists, and she seems to
be using Microsoft as her vehicle. Justice Department lawyers are
currently studying the file that Bingaman requested from the Federal
EFTA01068386
Trade Commission, and are said to be readying a case against Microsoft,
though whether Bingaman will bring narrow antitrust charges, which would
require the company to pay a fine it could easily afford, or will bring
a broad antitrust case, or will even attempt to break Microsoft up, has
not been decided. </p>
<p>There is substantial political pressure not to
prosecute Microsoft. Microsoft is the principal reason that the United
States is by far the world leader in software production, an industry
that has an unimaginable potential for growth. Also, the government's
huge antitrust case against I.B.M., which was filed in 1969 and ended
with the government's giving up on it in 1982, distracted and weakened
that organization, and helped companies like Microsoft to get the better
of it. Some people argue that the computer industry actually wants and
needs a monopolistic presence like Microsoft, because such a presence
can work to create a standard computer language that other companies can
design products for and that the public can use in common. That is the
role I.B.M. played, and now that I.B.M. has been dethroned, thanks
partly to Microsoft, people expect Microsoft to perform it. </p>
<p>
<b>One big difference<b> between Gates and
other early software entrepreneurs is that, whereas the others were
bright kids from middle-class homes who achieved success beyond their
expectations, Gates was born to rule. His childhood was emphatically not
the stuff of Horatio Alger novels. His father, Bill Gates, Jr., is a
well-known corporate lawyer in Seattle and a former president of the
Washington State Bar Association, and his mother, Mary Gates, is a
former regent at the University of Washington and was on the national
board of the United Way and of U S West. Washington State governors and
senators were guests at the house when Bill was a boy. At dinner, the
parents would lead the children--Bill and his sisters, Kristi and
Libby--in discussions of current affairs. The family also played a lot
of games and horsed around together. "I really like Bill's family, but
it would be nice if you could talk to them once in a while when they
weren't in a human pyramid," Ida Cole, a former Microsoft executive, has
said. Water-skiing was and remains a passion of Gates': several
Seattleites have described for me the experience of coming across the
Evergreen Bridge early on a Sunday morning in the summer and seeing
Gates' big powerboat on Lake Washington, with Gates' white, toneless
body water-skiing behind it and throwing up a big coxcomb of spray.
Young Bill was obsessive about improving aspects of himself he didn't
like. "He was always upset about his little toe curling in, so he'd work
on it. He'd spend time holding it out so he'd have a straight toe," his
sister Kristi told Stephen Manes and Paul Andrews, the co-authors of
"Gates," a recently published biography. Gates used to try to impress
his sisters by jumping out of a trash can, and he still occasionally
jumps over his office chair from a standstill. Sometimes, on his way to a
business meeting, he suddenly jumps up and tries to touch as high as he
can on a wall, or to touch higher than the spot he touched last time,
but he says, in "Gates," "I don't jump spontaneously the way I used to,
in the early years of the company . . . or even in a meeting.... Now
EFTA01068387
the jumping is not that common." However, he has planned a full-size
trampoline for a house he is building. In Japan, a comic book about the
adventures of a boy modeled on Bill Gates is called "Young Jump." </p>
<p>Gates attended Lakeside School, one of the best
private schools in the Seattle area, and there he met Paul Allen, who
was three years older. The two began spending a lot of time in the
school's computer room. In 1971, when Gates was sixteen, he wrote a
program that made it easier for cities to collect traffic statistics.
That same year, he and Allen started a company called Traf-o-Data. In
the Lakeside yearbook for 1973, Gates' senior year, there is a picture
of Gates in the computer room with a stocking cap pulled over his head
and lying on a table, over the caption "Who is this man?" </p>
<p>Joseph Weizenbaum, a computer scientist at M.I.T.,
perhaps overstating the case a little for effect, wrote, in "Computer
Power and Human Reason," this early portrait of computer hackers:
"Bright young men of disheveled appearance, often with sunken glowing
eyes, [who] can be seen sitting at computer consoles ... on which
their attention seems to be as riveted as a gambler's on the rolling
dice.... They work until they nearly drop, twenty, thirty hours at a
time. Their food, if they arrange it, is brought to them: coffee, Cokes,
sandwiches. . . . Their rumpled clothes, their unwashed and unshaven
faces, and their uncombed hair all testify that they are oblivious to
their bodies and to the world in which they move." This description
matches Gates' outward appearance, but Gates was different from most
hackers in one important respect: Hackers were interested in computers
as a hobby, mostly just for fun, whereas Gates always saw computers as a
way of making money. </p>
<p>Gates and Allen sometimes talked about how cool it
would be to design the software for the first personal computer, which
appeared to be on the horizon, but this was not a serious career goal of
Bill's. His father wanted him to become a lawyer. "When I was in
college, it was really hard to pick a career, because everything seemed
so attractive, and when you had to pick a specific one you had to say no
to all the others," Gates told me. "I'd think, Well, if I went to that
law firm some partner might not like me, and they might assign me to
these crummy cases, and I'd think, Well, God, that could be really
crummy." The question was settled in dramatic fashion in December, 1974,
when Allen, who was working in Boston, passed a newsstand in Harvard
Square and saw on the cover of Popular Electronics a computer called the
Altair 8800. The Altair 8800 was the first computer that ordinary
electronics hobbyists could afford to buy and that people with
reasonable technical knowledge could assemble in their homes. Basically,
it was the first personal computer. Allen bought the magazine, rushed
over to Gates' dorm, and showed it to him. "Look!" Allen said. "It's
going to happen! I told you this was going to happen! And we're going to
miss it!" </p>
<p>They called Ed Roberts, the man who created the
Altair, and told him that they had written a version of a programming
language called basic for his computer. That wasn't true. It was an
early use of a now common strategy in the computer industry, and at
EFTA01068388
Microsoft in particular: announcing products that don't exist (known in
the industry as "vaporware") in order to discourage possible
competitors. After talking to Roberts, Bill and Paul went on an
eight-week code-writing binge, with Gates writing most of the code,
often falling asleep at the keyboard, dreaming in code, waking up, and
immediately starting to write code again, with no real transition
between dreaming and waking-just code. ("It was the coolest program I
ever wrote," Gates later said.) At the end of the eight weeks, Allen
flew out to Albuquerque, met with Roberts, loaded the software into the
Altair, and typed "print 2 + 2." The Altair spat out "4." The program
worked. </p>
<p>By the end of 1975, Gates and Allen had founded a
company, Micro-soft, to sell their basic. (The hyphen was dropped a few
years later.) Now came what is perhaps the pivotal moment in the early
history of the software industry. Computer hobbyists who had bought the
Altair were dismayed to find that it didn't come with the software to
operate it, and were even more dismayed when they learned that they had
to buy the software for four hundred and fifty dollars from Micro-soft. </p>
<p>At that time, no one thought of software as
something you paid for. Software was just rolls of paper tape with
little holes punched in it. A hacker would write a cool piece of
software for fun, copy it, and give it away to his friends. Altair
owners began to do the same thing with Micro-soft's basic. Then, in
February of 1976, Gates published "An Open Letter to Hobbyists" in the
Altair newsletter, and the letter now stands as a sort of Magna Carta of
the software industry--the underpinning of the intellectual--property
structure. It stated, "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most
of you steal your software," and went on to argue that software was just
as much a commodity as hardware, because it represented someone's
intellectual work, and that the creators of the software should be
compensated just as creators of hardware were. </p>
<p>Gates shuttled between Harvard and Albuquerque until
the start of his senior year, when he dropped out for good. The
business expanded, and he and Allen relocated it to Seattle in 1978. In
1980, I.B.M. approached Gates to write an operating system for the
personal computer it was designing, the I.B.M. PC. Gates flew down to
Florida to meet the I.B.M. executives working on the project, realized
on the way that he had forgotten to bring a tie, and drove around
looking for a place to buy one. The I.B.M. executives, who had never
laid eyes on Gates, were stunned to see that their prospective partner
looked exactly like one of the hackers they were beginning to read about
in the press. They told Gates they needed an operating system in three
months--an impossibly short time--and Gates accepted the job. Upon
returning to Seattle, he bought an operating system called qdos, which
was short for Quick and Dirty Operating System, from another software
developer, Seattle Computer, for around seventy-five thousand dollars,
renamed it ms-dos, and, in a three-month code-writing marathon,
converted it to I.B.M.'s specifications. <,/p
<p>Software is sometimes said to be to the age of
information as oil was to the age of the machine. Software is what makes
EFTA01068389
information systems operate. Software is like a natural resource,
except that its source is not in the earth but in the human mind: people
carry pools of software in their heads. Its lack of physical existence
makes its importance easy to underestimate. I.B.M., which was one of the
great business organizations in history, and which was perfectly placed
to own the personal-computer business, disastrously failed to
appreciate the importance of the software Gates designed for it. Because
I.B.M. thought that the money was going to be in the hardware, in the
computers themselves, it allowed Gates to retain the rights to ms-dos.
During the nineteen-eighties, the PC was cloned by other American
manufacturers and by the Japanese, who could make and sell the machines
more cheaply than I.B.M. could, but no one knew how to clone ms-dos, and
Bill Gates collected a fee for every PC and every PC clone sold in the
world. </p>
<p>Two books about the fall of I.B.M. and Gates' role
in it have recently appeared--"Big Blues," by Paul Carroll, and
"Computer Wars," by Charles H. Ferguson and Charles R. Morris--and an
occasional chill runs up the spine of anyone reading them at the ease
with which Gates eviscerated men much older and more experienced than he
was. "I kept wanting to say to Cannavino, 'We need a shorthand because
these meetings are taking too long,' " Gates says in "Big Blues." James
Cannavino was an I.B.M. executive with whom Gates negotiated about
operating systems. Cannavino would begin meetings by making small talk
about, say, his new car, in a misguided effort to establish some sort of
personal rapport with Gates. Also, like many other American corporate
executives of his generation, Cannavino would spend a lot of time
talking about his company's values. This would drive Gates mad. "Every
time you say 'thirteen,' I'll know that what that means is that all you
want to do is what the customer wants," Gates says he imagined himself
saying to Cannavino. </p>
<p>"And for every one of these other gibberish slogans,
we can also get little numbers. There are a lot of small integers
available. We'll just tighten these meetings up. You know, Cannavino, if
you want to talk about how you're going to save the U.S. educational
system, okay, we've heard that story. That's a good fifteen-minute one.
That can be number eleven." However, Gates managed to swallow these
thoughts and let Cannavino talk. "I'm really very good at this stuff,"
he says. "I know how to be somebody's son. You know, 'Yes, Dad.' " </p>
<p>A prominent software executive told me, "I.B.M.
thought they had Gates by the balls. He's just a hacker, they thought. A
harmless nerd. What they actually had by the balls was an organism
which has been bred for the accumulation of great power and maximum
profit, the child of a lawyer, who knew the language of contracts, and
who just ripped those I.B.M. guys apart." Another leading executive in
the software industry said, "Think of I.B.M. and Microsoft as being a
chess game, where Microsoft plays black. So they're at a disadvantage.
So they have to set up a trap. Microsoft becomes the only supplier of a
commodity that I.B.M. could not produce itself. Having done that, it
proceeds to market that asset to weaken its partner's position. It's
brilliant!" </p>
EFTA01068390
<p>Now, thirteen years after that contract, Microsoft
is by far the largest software company in the world. It has a market
capitalization of twenty-three billion dollars--more than General
Motors, Xerox, or I.B.M. To what extent Gates is mainly a product of
I.B.M.'s blunder, and therefore a kind of historical accident, and to
what extent he is the first person to imagine software as a
shrink-wrapped commodity, and is therefore a visionary, is a good
question to ask if you are seated next to a computer-industry executive
at a dinner party. Although Microsoft continues to manufacture ms-dos,
it has severed most of its ties with I.B.M. The break came over the
operating system Windows, which Gates introduced in 1985. (Paul Allen,
who had a scary encounter with Hodgkin's disease in 1983, retired,
cashed in some of his Microsoft stock, bought the Portland Trail Blazers
basketball team, and built a house with a basketball court on the
property, where the team could practice. He also provided the funds for a
Jimi Hendrix museum in Seattle. Lately, Allen, whose Microsoft stock is
now worth $2.9 billion, has been in the news for buying nearly
twenty-five per cent of America Online, an information service, and,
most recently, for buying eighty per cent of TicketMaster.) </p>
<p>Windows is a graphical user interface, or gui
(computer people pronounce it "gooey"). Instead of operating the
computer with keyboard commands, as you do in dos, in Windows you use a
pointing device--a mouse--to access little folders and documents on your
electronic desktop. Xerox developed the desktop metaphor in the late
seventies, and in the early eighties Apple Computer commercialized it.
Gates saw that Apple's gui was an easier system to use than dos, and
borrowed it. When Windows first appeared, it was widely viewed as a
kludge (a dog): it was buggy (it had glitches) and was a memory pig (it
used up a lot of space in the computer's hard drive), and it was
generally less elegant than Apple's gui. But Gates stayed with Windows
and kept improving it. Gates understood that it did not matter if the
software used lots of space on the hard drive as long as hard drives
kept getting twice as powerful every eighteen months. Also, whereas
Apple chose to keep its software proprietary--it could run only on
machines that Apple made--Gates licensed Windows to any computer
manufacturer that wanted it, just as he had done with dos. </p>
<p>When Apple realized its mistake--its strategy
limited Apple's share of the operating-system market to the number of
computers Apple could sell--it sued Microsoft for copyright
infringement, but a federal court ruled that "the look and feel" of the
desktop metaphor was not covered under Apple's copyright. </p>
<p>It is often said by Gates' detractors that he has
never invented anything, and this is true in a sense, but you could say
the same thing about Henry Ford. When the Model T appeared, in 1908, it
was by no means the best car on the road, but it worked well enough, and
it was affordable and easy to produce, and Ford stayed with it. Even
today, most users still find Apple's operating system more intuitive
than Windows, but, because the market for Windows is so much larger,
other software manufacturers are more inclined to make applications for
Windows than for Apple's operating system. If there is to be a standard
computer language--which from the point of view of the public is greatly
EFTA01068391
desirable--it now appears that Windows will be the one. But Gates has
to worry that someone will do to Microsoft what Microsoft did to Apple.
Apple is designing a new operating system with I.B.M.; it's code-named
Pink, and is expected to appear sometime in 1995. </p>
<p>
<b>After a month<A> of E-mail between Gates and
me, my hour in his physical presence arrived. As we shook hands, he
said, "Hello, I'm Bill Gates," and emitted a low, vaguely embarrassed
chuckle. Is this the sound one E-mailer makes to another when they
finally meet in real space? I was aware of a feeling of being
discovered. In the front part of Gates' office, we sat down at right
angles to each other. Gates had on normal-looking clothes--a green shirt
with purple stripes, brown pants, black loafers. He rocked throughout
our time together. He did not look at me very often but either looked
down as he was talking or lifted his eyes above my head to look out the
window in the direction of the campus. The angle of the light caused the
purple stripes in his shirt to reflect in his glasses, which, in turn,
threw an indigo tinge into the dark circles around his eyes. </p>
<p>The emotional boundaries of our encounter seemed to
have been much expanded by the E-mail that preceded it: Gates would be
angry one minute, almost goofily happy the next. I wondered if he was
consciously using our present form of communication to express feelings
that E-mail cannot convey. Maybe this is the way lots of people will
communicate in the future: meet on the information highway, exchange
messages, get to know the lining of each other's mind, then meet face to
face. </p>
<p>In each other's physical presence, they will be able
to eliminate a lot of the polite formalities that clutter people's
encounters now, and say what they really mean. If this happens, it will
be a good thing about the information highway: electronic communication
won't reduce face-to-face communication; instead, it will focus it. </p>
<p>I had been told not to ask Gates about his marriage,
because he didn't want to talk about it, but I was emboldened by the
familiarity that E-mail had established between us and asked anyway.
Gates was silent, rocking gently (I interpreted that as a good sign) and
staring down at his shoes. "Well, ifs a pretty conventional marriage,"
he said after a while. "I'm male, and I'm marrying a female. And
there's just two of us. And we plan to have rings on our fingers. And
there'll be a minister. Or, actually, a priest, I think. Since I'm
marrying a Catholic." He giggled. "Pretty standard stuff. In most
dimensions, including this one, I'm just like everybody else. I found a
girl and fell in love with her. I'm kind of old." As he talked, he began
to make a peculiar ahhh sound--a sort of rapturous vocalized pause,
with a little shyness in it, as if he were confiding in me. </p>
<p>"Some of your competitors are hoping that marriage is going to make you spend less time in th
e office," I said. <fp>
EFTA01068392
<p>"Yeah, I think ... ahhh ... that's a pretty
strange thing. Being married I don't think is that big a change. It did
take up a lot of energy and time being single. I think in a way it's
more complicated than being married. I mean, marriage has its own
complexities, but they're different . . . ahhh ... and I don't think
timewise they're much different. And I've been going out with this
person off and on for a number of years, so it's not like the day I get
married it will be, like, whoa, wait a minute, she uses curlers to curl
her hair, my God!" </p>
<p>Gates and his bride are constructing a
thirty-five-million-dollar house on the eastern slope of Lake
Washington, just outside Seattle--a series of five pavilions connected
by underground passageways, with display screens scattered throughout
the rooms and linked to a central data base containing hundreds of
thousands of famous works of art in digital form. Gates does not own the
art; he owns the right to reproduce the art digitally, and he and his
assistants continue to throw museum officials around the world into
confusion by offering to buy the digital rights to works in their
collections. </p>
<p>"Do you worry that your wealth is going to corrupt you?" <fp>
<p>"Absolutely." Gates sat upright and raised his arms
in the air. "Absolutely. Hey. Being in the spotlight is a corrupting
thing. Being successful is a corrupting thing. Having lots of money is a
corrupting thing. These are very dangerous things, to be guarded
against carefully. And I think that's very, very hard to do." </p>
<p>"How do you do it?" </p>
<p>"I'm very close to my family. And that's important
to me. It's a very centering thing. I live in the same neighborhood I
grew up in. One of my sisters lives there. We get together as a family a
lot. The woman I'm marrying wants when we have kids to have a normal
environment for them. So we'll mutually brainstorm about how to do the
best we can at that." Gates thought for a while, then said, "I am a
person who is very conscious of, like, why don't I have a TV in my
house? I think TV is great. When I'm in a hotel room, I sit there and
try all these new channels and see what's going on. I probably stay up
too late watching stuff. TV is neat. I don't have a TV at home, because I
would probably watch it, and I prefer to spend that time thinking-or,
mostly, reading. So I'm pretty conscious about not letting myself get
used to certain things." </p>
<p>"So do you consider yourself a puritanical person?" </p>
<p>"Oh, no no no. I'm not a puritan," Gates said. "Hey,
if I was a puritan--" He grinned, apparently mentally flipping through a
sequence of unpuritanical acts he had committed. "O.K., it's a little
bit like this. I go to a baseball game, and I'm having a good time,
watching the game, but then I feel myself getting drawn in. I start
wondering, Who are these guys? Who are the good ones? How much are they
EFTA01068393
paid? How are the other teams compared to this one? How have the rules
changed? How do these guys compare to the guys twenty years ago? It just
gets so interesting. I know if I let myself go to ten games I'd be
addicted, and I'd want to go more. And there's only so much time in the
day. And, frankly, it's easy for me to get interested in anything. I
think, Gosh, am I going to get good at tennis? Well, we got these kayaks
recently. I think, you know, Are we going to get into that? I was just
in Africa. I think, Should I do my next two or three trips
there--there's just so much there--but I'd sort of like to go to China,
and actually I think I'll end up doing that for my next big trip, in two
or three years. So there's all these choices, but time is this very
scarce resource." </p>
<p>As we were saying goodbye, Gates said, "Well, you're welcome to keep sending me mail." </p>
<p>I walked out to my car, drove off the Microsoft
campus, and headed back over the Evergreen Bridge to Seattle. When I got
to my hotel, I logged on and saw I had E-mail from Bill. It had been
written about two hours after I left his office. There was no reference
to our having just met. He was responding to mail I had sent him several
days earlier, asking what he thought of Henry Ford: </p>
<ul><p>Ford is not that admirable--he did great things
but he was very very narrow minded and was willing to use brute force
power too much. His relationship with his family is tragic. His model of
the world was plain wrong in a lot of ways. He decided he knew
everything he needed to fairly early in his life. </p></ul>

Jeffret is neither fluent in spanish, french or italian however he is highly conversant and
multilingual in the areas of the most advanced sciences and finance.. He can exquisitely conduct a s
eminar in fields as diverse as evolutionary biology, computational neuro science.or even the highly e
soteric mathematics that permeate our future. Mathematicans at Harvard marvel at his breadth that s
pans the divide between the esoteric and the very world..
His interests are far and wide and unlike many gentleman scientists that simply repeat back what the
y have read , he has been an integral part of the creative process in varied fields. , signal intelligence,
power law distributions , and encryption. His facile and hyper speed grasping of complex financial i
ssues remains unique in my experience. He neither qualifies nor does he hold himself out as a great i
nvestor like my friend Warren, or an economist like Larry Summers, but his knowledge of money, it
s uses. its technicalities and its burdens are something he has taught many of my colleagues. 1
Again , as to reiterate my open eyes I am well aware that in his colorful past he has made some awfu
I decisions, Im sure he would have done things differently if he had the opportunity to do them over.
however he has paid his debt to society, asked his friends and family for forgiveness and has continu
ed his charitable work that he began even decades before his travails.
i have had the privilege to meet the worlds greatest minds, and i can easily say that Jeffrey s is amon
gst the best of those.

I have utmost confidence in his integrity. I have dealt with him for a number of years on both sides o
f a negotiation and say with certainty that I;d rather be on his side.
He has been in the Billionaire business for longer than almost anyone else. His insight into the uniqu
e problems of the super wealthy , has been invaluable to many others that i know. He found a niche i
n the early 80s discerning the burdens of hyper wealth and from his time on the board of Rockefeller

nesty, refreshing, a sense of humor that some find highly cultured others find just outright silly,
His homes are probably the best collection of private real estate in the united states. A private island
, that some describe as a tribute to megalomania. and a ranch in new mexico that is truly beyond ima
gination and my favorite townhouse in NY. HIs attention to detail is remarkable . I find it sad that he
doesn't have children of his own, but makes up for it by maintaining close friendships that have laste
d for decades.
His charitable instincts have been honed over many years and his advice and judgment has been inva
luable in several instances. He has funded bold experiments on the placebo effect. string theory , qua
ntum gravity, music and its insight into the brain etc,
His ability to explain complex financial derivatives or opaque concepts that are on the bleeding edge
of science in layman's terms is I believe a part of his teaching gene and enduring charm.
I have met many people who criticize those who continue to maintain a friendship with Jeffrey, pred
ominately by those whose opinions appear on the surface to be impervious to change , however, in t
he vast majority of cases , it is with those that have not had the opportunity to sit with him watch as
his mind performs an intellectuall ballet. gracefully moving from one difficult topic and transitionin
g to another seemingly unrelated , only at the end to have the thread pulled tightly and ending with a
n elegant coda that recaps the various themes .
I can call him and ask , can you explain this to me, and with an impish respond, and a breath of fresh
air, if he can't , he finds it comfortable and ordinary to simply admit - I Don't know. .
