From the publisher:
This book is about the most astonishing person in modern business history—Steve Jobs—the great entrepreneur of the high-tech era, known for his individualism, contrarian thinking, and rebellious character. The authors describe in detail the dizzying rise of a young man who achieved success very early, and the rapid fall that followed—during which Steve was expelled not only from Apple, but from the computer industry altogether.
The book gained scandalous fame even at the stage of preparing it for publication. After receiving a copy of the manuscript to review, the company forbade the book by the publishing house Wiley & Son to be sold in all Apple stores. This reaction did not affect the publisher’s desire to publish the work.
The book will be interesting for those who want to know how the formation, rise, and development of the modern era of digital technologies occurred under the influence of the most significant figure of our time— the person who fundamentally changed three industries: the film industry, music, and computers—Steve Jobs.
