Icon. Steve Jobs. The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business.

Icon. Steve Jobs. The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business.
Young & Simon. 2005. ISBN 0471720836. An unauthorized biography that
Jobs has banned from all Apple stores. Terrific red that I could not put
down. Journalists put out the enjoyable books. Lots of names for Jobs,
few complimentary, but he has weathered more self imposed defeats than
most of us. This book takes you from the start up to the release of the
Shuffle. You get a good sense of where Apple, Pixar and Disney is
heading plus a close look at the man who invented “the reality
distortion field”. Read it and pass it on to others of our age. They
will never bury him with ” a really nice guy ” on his tombstone.
