Walter Isaacson's biography about Steve Jobs tells the story of his life starting with his childhood, the beginnings of Apple in the garage of his parents' house, the pioneering days of the personal computer, the Macintosh, his involuntary exit from Apple, the founding of NEXT and the financing of Pixar, the return to Apple and its rescue and transformation into one of the most valuable companies in the world through the development of the iMac, the iPod – and the related revolution of the music market, the iPhone and finally the iPad... until his retirement due to his illness and his death in 2011.
This unsparing bibliography describes one of the greatest visionaries of the IT age – a perfectionist with an unwavering sense of design, aesthetics, and usability – and an often ruthless genius in all his positive and negative traits.
Even without being an Apple fan and user myself, I found the book extremely worth reading and more entertaining and exciting than many a thriller.
