Tobias can take on such causes because he's made quite a bit of money through writing and investment.

Itis obvious that you have to get ready for whatever game you’replaying

A business professor at San Jose State University in California, Stross had unfettered access to Gates, his employees and the company's internal files, making this a privileged, revealing window on Microsoft's inner workings.
