Title : Steve Jobs - Walter Isaacson - book

• Summary

Suggested by Apple founder Steve Jobs, who was facing a terrible illness, based on more than forty interviews conducted over two years and interviews with a hundred family members, friends, rivals, competitors, and colleagues, the book traces the incredible life and extraordinary personality of a genius, perfectionist and hyperactive, who revolutionized computers, animated films, music, telephones, touch tablets, and digital publishing. Steve Jobs is now the absolute icon of inventiveness. He understood that combining creativity with technology had become essential. Steve Jobs, of course, collaborated on the book but did not ask for any right to review what was written, or even to read it before publication. He imposed no limits; on the contrary, he encouraged those around him to speak freely. “There are a lot of things I’m not proud of,” he says, “including how, at 23, I handled the situation when my girlfriend got pregnant. But I don’t have any skeletons in the closet that I’m trying to hide.” Steve Jobs speaks with extreme candor about the people he has worked with or competed with. He can deeply infuriate the people around him. His friends, enemies, and colleagues speak frankly about his passions, his demons, his desires, his intransigence, and his obsession with control that have shaped his business vision and the innovations that have resulted from them. Steve Jobs’s personality and the products he creates are intertwined, like different parts of an integrated system—all Apple products and software participate in this logic. Jobs’s career is exemplary, a model of innovation, character, business leadership, and values.
