Steve Jobs

TITLE - Steve Jobs
AUTHOR - Walter Isaacson

Steve Jobs, the biography, is about the life of one of the greatest thinkers and innovators of the last century. It follows the upbringing and early adulthood influences on Steve Jobs life and decision making processes as he became world famous for his first invention - The AppleII. In this book, Steve Jobs does not always come across as an amicable, friendly, easy going character. In fact, for those who worked with him, Steve Jobs was often intolerable, rude and domineering.

I thought this biography was an honest timeline of how Steve Jobs became the most successful CEO of the worlds biggest technology company. The road was bumpy, but there are many lessons to be learnt here. My favourite part was the story of Steve Jobs' comeback when he'd been sacked by the very company that he'd started 15 years earlier.

If you're interested in history and the amazing figures that changed and shaped the world of the 20th century, especially in the world of technology, then this book is for you.
