Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

Product description

Review

The attention to detail is astounding, and this is an encyclopaedic record of Jobs's life right up to his battle against cancer and death . . . a fitting legacy to a flawed genius - Evening Standard

Isaacson has done an outstanding job. He keeps a sturdily detached perspective about Jobs' many eccentricities. His biographer has written a captivating account of this digital visionary whose products have enthralled millions of people - Spectator

This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject - Telegraph

A must read - Sunday Times

Book Description

An extraordinary book which gives us a unique insight into the life and thinking of the man who has single-handedly transformed the way we live today

Jobs Uncut

17 December 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This bio of Steve Jobs explores his life and, of course, the companies he was part of. The author provides a picture of Jobs that has little, if any, varnish. I think this is very important as it allows the reader to understand a little more of the make up of Jobs and how he did what he did.
The rise and fall and rise of Apple is fascinating, as is are the dynamics in evidence when leading business figures come together. This book is a great case study on "the intersection of technology and art" and what makes some companies great.

Detailed riveting peek into the life of an icon

14 February 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Thorough and engaging. Isaacson's obvious affection for Jobs never gets in the way of his professionalism as a writer in areas where Steves's flawed character is on display. Like a mature view of someone who you deeply respect, not blind to their faults but as has been said: love sees more not less but because it sees more it is willing to see less.

Captivating from start to finish

12 April 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

From the moment I picked up the book I knew I was all in. I literally read it in 2 weeks, no mean feat given the voluminous nature of the book.

Well written and the way passages, moments in time are chronicled and in such a way that does not go too far to glorify or portray Jobs in a positive light rather it highlights his mindset, his vulnerabilities, his flaws and mistakes at the same time takes nothing away from his achievements and greatness. Its a wonderful balance

A triumph - Top marks

enjoyed the read

Was a very good read, did not get too bogged down with the political stuff of running a business. He was a visionary person, with issues of control over others as well as himself. Shame all the good ones have this issue. I recommend this to read.

Well written warts and all biography about a truly inspirational genius who changed the world. One of the longest books I've read in a while. I'm not a great reader, but found it hard to put this one down.

It's interesting

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It's an interesting read, but it is just a collection of short stories relating to Steve jobs. Most stories are about the development of Apple and don't really focus on jobs.

I think this book would be an exciting read even for a non-techie - the life he lead was pretty amazing. Incredibly inspirational from the point of view of motivating you do put in even a tenth of the effort Steve did.
