Steve Jobs

Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years - in addition to interviews with more than one hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - Isaacson was given "exclusive and unprecedented" access to Jobs's life. Jobs is said to have encouraged the people interviewed to speak honestly.
The book is described as "[chronicling] the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing."
