About This Book
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two
years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members,
friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has
written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly
intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for
perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal
computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital
publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge,
and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age
economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied
imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the
twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built
a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable
feats of engineering.
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 encouraged the people he knew to speak
honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, 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.
Driven 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 an integrated system.
His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about
innovation, character, leadership, and values.
