Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Steve Jobs - Walter Isaacson’s authorized portrait of the Apple co-founder is exhaustive, candid and unflinching. Drawing on over forty interviews with Jobs and more than a hundred conversations with family, friends and colleagues, the 627-page volume maps his mercurial trajectory—from garage tinkerer to global icon—while exposing the flaws behind the legend. Depth of Access and Personal Candor - Jobs personally sanctioned Isaacson’s project, granting unrestricted interviews even during his terminal illness. - He refused editorial control, insisting on truth over image, which yielded revelations about his “reality distortion field,” perfectionism and personal eccentricities. - Isaacson does not shy away from Jobs’s more unsettling quirks: he often went days without bathing, viewing regular hygiene as a distraction from work. - The biography candidly explores his adoption and quest for identity: although he traced Abdulfattah Jandali, his biological father, in 2006, Jobs never informed him of the empire he built. - It also confronts his callous early treatment of daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs—initially denying paternity, forcing a court-ordered DNA test and approving minimal support—revealing a harshness that contrasts with his creative brilliance. A-Player Culture and Obsessive Detail Jobs insisted on hiring only A-players who could deliver A-performance, famously believing “a small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players”. He pushed teams to rework products right up to their release date, refusing to ship anything less than perfect. His obsession extended beyond the product’s exterior: Jobs demanded that internal layouts, circuit boards and component placements be as beautiful as the consumer-facing shell. Well worth reading (Read Jony Ive The Genius Behind Apple’s Greatest Products for more insights into Apple’s design revolution.) Review: Purity - First, the book. It is packed with anecdote, wisely interpreted with unbroken narrative energy. It is the kind of book which will irritate those you are on holiday with, because you keep peeling away from the pack to be alone with it. An excellent biography, verging on tribute, which it tries repeatedly to avoid by dealing with Steve's unkindness whenever it crops up. Second, the man. If you want to focus on his shortcomings as a colleague or father, then there is enough material in here to keep many dinner party conversations going. (Just make sure that whenever you snap at your kids or your colleagues you remind yourself of your hypocrisy.) Steve created a company at 21 (in 1976), was kicked out because of his bad manners at 30 (1985), spent a decade in the wilderness, only to be asked back at the age of 40 to rebuild and recharge the creative potential invented by the design-led marriage of art and technology. Oh, and during the wilderness years, he fathered Pixar. When you get to the pearly gates, you may be asked how many faces you brought a smile to, net of those you brought tears to. I can't think of a bigger winner than Steve Jobs. I wouldn't recognise a RAM or a ROM, but, since reading this book, I think about the riddle that was Steve Jobs all the time. A bit like the way he thought of Yo-Yo-Ma (on page 425). "Jobs tended to be deeply moved by artists who displayed purity and he became a fan. He invited Ma to play at his wedding, but he was out of the country on tour. He came by the Jobs house a few years later, sat in the living room, pulled out his 1733 Stradivarius cello and played Bach. Jobs teared up and told him,"You playing is the best argument I've ever heard for the existence of God, because I don't really believe a human alone can do this." This was written on my iPad. Thank you, Steve Jobs and all the people you abused, exploited and extracted the best from in the name, as I see it, of your version of truth, honesty and joie de vivre. Your reality distortion probably accelerated your demise, and may well have wounded some people who rode with you, but, with the dent you made in the universe, you leave the world an immeasurably better place than you found it for millions of us. And this book deserves to do the same for thousands and thousands of us. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1501127624 | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,856,497 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Computer Scientist Biographies 4 in Engineer Biographies 11 in Business Biographies & Memoirs (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (26,411) | | Dimensions | 15.56 x 3.81 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 9781501127625 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501127625 | | Item weight | 862 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 631 pages | | Publication date | 15 Sept. 2015 | | Publisher | Simon & Schuster | ## Images ![Steve Jobs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xUgLxhY6L.jpg) ![Steve Jobs - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71knEyb05jL.jpg) ![Steve Jobs - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/314gmgJ3NfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steve Jobs *by S***T on 16 May 2025* Walter Isaacson’s authorized portrait of the Apple co-founder is exhaustive, candid and unflinching.
