More about the book
This riveting biography captures the transformation of modern life in the information age through the lens of its supernaturally gifted subject. Based on over forty interviews with Steve Jobs and more than a hundred conversations with family, friends, adversaries, and colleagues, it chronicles the intense personality and rollercoaster life of a creative entrepreneur whose relentless pursuit of perfection revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Jobs cooperated fully, requesting no control over the content or the opportunity to review it before publication, encouraging honesty from those who knew him. He speaks candidly about his experiences, and his friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, and compulsion for control that defined his business approach and the innovative products he created. In a new afterword commemorating the tenth anniversary of his death, the author highlights how Jobs's vision remains vital today.
