Steve Jobs
Categories: Biographies & Memoirs
Steve Jobs agreed to more than forty interviews with Walter Isaacson over two years, asked for no control over the book, and put nothing off-limits. Isaacson also talked to more than a hundred of his family, friends, rivals, and colleagues. The result is a candid portrait of the Apple cofounder: his perfectionism and ferocious drive, his gift for connecting creativity with technology, and his harsher side. It follows how he helped transform personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablets, and digital publishing.
