Steve Jobs v iCon: Which Steve Jobs biography book should you buy? (99-CENT REVIEWS) Review
99-CENT REVIEWS: SACRIFICE ONE BUCK TO SAVE MANY
Steve Jobs’s recent untimely death at the end of an illustrious career has everybody hungry to know what made him tick.
Over the course of almost four decades, Jobs founded a company in his Father’s garage, started the personal computer revolution along with Steve Wozniak, ushered in the era of graphical interfaces – computers as we know them today – with the introduction of the Macintosh, got ousted from his own company, founded another, bought another and sold his newly founded company to Apple, which brought him back into Apple with new technology and a team that became the foundation of Mac OS X the desktop as we know it today. And the company he bought? He eventually sold that to Disney, becoming its biggest shareholder and bringing in the team that created animation as we know it today.
Not a bad series of achievements for a volatile hippie kid known for bathing too little, yelling too much and crying a lot.
Many books have been written about Jobs, with all kinds of claims being made, some true and others less so, or even downright libelous. So which should you read? Let me compare and contrast two popular titles in particular; *Steve Jobs* by Walter Isaacson and *iCon* by Jeffrey Young and William Simon.
