Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

3.0

---

Not a lot of new information in this biography, but the intimate perspective that Isaacson was privileged to capture from Jobs was incredibly insightful. It reveals above all a very sad life marked by moments of true pioneering. Steve Jobs life, more than anything, is a cautionary tale for dreamers. The writing is hasty and clumsy in a number of places; not a surprise considering the mad dash that Isaacson and his publisher made to hit the streets weeks after Jobs' death. More likely a fault of slapdash editing.
