This biography is based on conversations with Steve Jobs himself, as well as with his relatives, friends, enemies, rivals, and colleagues. Jobs exercised no control over the author. He answered all questions candidly and expected the same honesty from everyone else. This is a story of a life full of ups and downs, about a strong man and a talented businessman who was one of the first to understand: to succeed in the 21st century, you need to combine creativity and technology.
