An interesting book that presents Steve Jobs as a very complex, sometimes immature man who had difficulties with family and may have been cruel or oblivious to the feelings of others simply out of a lack of empathy. While he certainly…

When Jobs' friend ,Walter Isaacson, wrote this biography, Steve Jobs allowed him access to all his friends and did not require he would read it before it was published. As well as being a pioneer of Silicon Valley, Jobs was also known as a…

Must-read biography of our time, to both (Apple/Jobs) lovers and haters, from pre-baby-boomers to post-millennials, and their posterity. It's packed with intense materials and enlivened with the (well to less known) people, like Jobs'…

Steve Jobs defeated Steve Jobs on a longer life. His reality distorting field tactic was a double edge sword. Hard to be a rebel with a cult of personality. Gated garden strategy conflicted with 8 billion people doing whatever wherever…

Fate is indeed a real double dribbler, it couldn't have made Steve's biological dad serve him food in a restaurant, after discarding him. It seems like it is a handiwork of God that made the life of Steve jobs. Oh! Great book. But so…

I don't read a lot of biographies, so I don't have a lot of basis to judge this one on. I'll just say, based on entertainment value alone, it was very good. Even though he's writing about a lot of business dealings and corporate goings-on…

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fascinating read. In addition to learning about Steve's journey I liked the background stories about the computer, music and animated film industries.

Written by someone who doesn't understand Apple, but has too much ego to realize it.
