"This is a fascinating book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as it does about its supernaturally talented and determined subject." - Telegraph

Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years, and interviews with over a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues, this is the acclaimed and internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of innovation. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the disruptive life and explosive 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.

Although Jobs co-operated with this book, he requested no control over the content, not even the right to read it before it was published. He did not hold back anything. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally, about the people he worked with and competed against. Friends, enemies, and colleagues provide a naked view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and control-freakery that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
