World's Richest Man: I Leaped Across Time

We hadn't made it three steps inside the hall before the first professor descended.

He was a wiry man in a tweed blazer that looked borrowed from a taller colleague, his glasses perched low on his nose. His salt-and-pepper hair swept back in a style that hadn't been fashionable since the '90s.

He intercepted us near the edge of the crowd, his hand already extended. "Mr. Somnus," he said, his voice carrying the weight of a man who'd spent decades lecturing to rooms of distracted undergrads. "Professor Henry Walsh. Chair of the Economics Department here at MIT. We read the summary you sent ahead. MySpace and Facebook as a branding tool. Google's AdWords. PlayTube? Fascinating, if a bit… unorthodox. But we're intrigued by your approach." His smile was thin, more obligation than warmth.

"Caught your eye, huh?" I said, shaking his hand. "Good to know."
