Featuring a fresh epilogue read by the writer. From the writer of the best-selling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein, this is the exclusive biography of Steve Jobs. Predicated on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with an increase of when compared to a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and acquaintances - Walter Isaacson has written a riveting storyline of the roller-coaster life and searingly strong personality of any creative business owner whose enthusiasm for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six companies: personal computers, animated movies, music, telephones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At the same time when America is seeking ways to maintain its innovative advantage, so when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied creativity. He understood that the best way to create value in the 21st hundred years was to connect creativity with technology. He built a firm where leaps of the creativity were combined with amazing feats of anatomist. Although Jobs cooperated with this publication, he requested no control over what was written. He put nothing at all off-limits. He prompted people he understood to speak truthfully. And Jobs talks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and acquaintances offer an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the ground breaking products that resulted. Powered by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of a built-in system. His story is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about development, character, authority, and values.
