This book is based on over forty interviews with Steve Jobs over a period of two years. Interviews were conducted with over a hundred of Jobs’ family, friends, colleagues, competitors, and adversaries. Walter Isaacson wrote a touching book on the man who symbolizes with the Apple symbol. Steve Jobs revolutionized six industries such personal computers, animated movies, phones, music, digital publishing and tablet computing. Walter Isaacson was able to get a clear view of what Steve Jobs saw such as his Reality Distortion Field when it served him the best. He said that he was able to get caught up in it as it is not only a feeling but the ability to bend reality to convince a person to do the impossible.
This 600 page book was great and beautifully written however I felt there could always be more to the story however that is what creates mystery of a person. Tony Fadell’s role in the development of the iPhone was mentioned but there was not a closure or further mention after he was driven out of the company after the release of the iPhone. It would have been nice to know more of the incident and what happened. Steve Jobs was an amazing man and while I wish there was more about him however I believe that is my curiosity to know so much more about a person. He was gone entirely too soon but he made a very large dent in the world and that will never be forgotten.
