Steve Jobs: Pioneer of the digital age, visionary inventor, creative genius. College dropout, Zen Buddhist, control freak. Icon, iconoclast.
This fast-paced and entertaining graphic biography is at once stylish, irreverent, and smart - like Jobs himself - presenting the story of the ultimate American entrepreneur and perhaps the most influential individual of our time.
Jobs`s remarkable life reads like a history of the personal technology industry. He started Apple Computer in his parents` garage when he was twenty-one and then molded it into the world`s most valuable business. He bought a struggling computer graphics company, Pixar, and turned it into a megahit animation studio. He became the tastemaker of a generation, creating products we couldn`t live without while revolutionizing the music, phone, and tablet computer industries in the process. Through it all, he was an overbearing and demanding perfectionist, both impossible and inspiring.
Capturing his unparalleled brilliance, as well as his many demons, Jessie Hartland`s engaging biography illuminates the meteoric successes, devastating setbacks, and myriad contradictions that make up the extraordinary life and legacy of the insanely great Steve Jobs.
