In this book, the reader will not only get acquainted with the life and work of a person who managed to earn billions in the development of information technology, but also learn about the problems of modern Russia. Contrary to the calls of many scientists led by Nobel laureate Zhores Ivanovich Alferov, statements by politicians and public figures about the need to neoinindustrialize the economy on the basis of existing science cities and make money on advanced, breakthrough, science-intensive technologies, the country is finally turning into a donor of natural wealth for "civilized" and "developed" countries.
