Summary
"Your time is limited... have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
—Steve Jobs
From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of 20, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius - his exacting insistence on perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched.
Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

This was a brilliant story about a Steve
This was a brilliant story telling a performance about the probabely most memorable and visionary man in moderne time, Steve Jobs. He didn't have the most appealing life experince when it comes down to his personal life and outside Apple, and he had to pay the price several times. Even so, the man revolusionised the whole world by thinking differently and placed himself amongst other great minds like Henry Ford, Alexander Bell and Thomas Edison.

History of Apple
History of Apple more than a biography, and as such, quite interesting. However, hard to admire Steve Jobs the MAN. Clearly a talent, but as a person I did not find anything positive, admirable or endearing. He did hardly a thing for others, and unlike his nemesis, Bill Gates, he was not at all interested in donating any of his vast wealth to any charitable causes. He was arrogant and overbearing and appeared to have no loyalty to long-standing employees. He refused to acknowledge or support his first daughter, denying her even after a DNA test proved paternity. I guess we should be grateful to his contribution to our lives, but that’s it for me.
