The author, Stephen Manes, is well known among adults for his columns on technology in "Forbes" and "PC World" and his book "Gates: How Microsoft's Mogul Reinvented an Industry—and Made Himself the Richest Man in America", and among children for his many books, including "Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!"
