This book is based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over last two
years and interviews with more than a hundred family members,
friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues-Walter Isaacson has
written a marvelous story of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for
perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal
computers, animation 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 knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks politely, 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.
