Steve Jobs was an American icon of ingenuity and creativity. His entrepreneurial skill and product vision revolutionized the personal computer, animated movie, music, phone, tablet computing, and digital publishing industries.
This book provides insight into his background, his personality, his passion, and his values. It attempts to be fair and candid, and Jobs did not even request the right to read it before it was published. This book includes a good number of stories that will not endear readers to him. There are plenty of inspirational stories about his ability to build teams and companies that produced amazing products.
This book is nearly 600 pages long. Therefore, it is not a quick read. I liked some parts better than others, but, in general, was fascinated. I felt like this biography provided a significant glimpse into who Steve Jobs was, what drove him, and how he lived his life. It provides some perspective into how much of our everyday lives have, in one way or another, been touched by him.
