»Den enda boken om Steve Jobs som rekommenderas av de som kände honom bäst.« | APPLE INC.»En fantastisk bok. Efter att ha jobbat med Steve i över 25 år känner jag att den med stor insikt fångar hur hans komplexa och unika personlighet utvecklades. Jag hoppas att den kommer att betraktas som den definitiva biografin.« | ED CATMULL, VD PIXAR & DiISNEY ANIMATIONAtt bli Steve Jobs är en djuplodande och nyanserad biografi som ifrågasätter den etablerade bilden av Steve Jobs som lika delar geni och skitstövel, som en självisk och temperamentsfull ledargestalt, hänsynslös mot både medarbetare och vänner.Utifrån intervjuer med Steve Jobs inre krets - familj, vänner och konkurrenter - har journalistveteranerna Brent Schlender & Rick Tetzeli (den förstnämnde även personlig vän till Jobs) tecknat ett betydligt mer mångfacetterat och intimt porträtt av Jobs än tidigare biografier. Med avstamp i hans första tid som grundare och VD för NeXT och köpet av Pixar 1986 framträder en person som genomgår en långsam men dramatisk utveckling, kantad av misstag, omskakande insikter och misslyckanden.Här besvaras inte minst den mest brännande frågan om Apple-VD:ns liv och karriär: Hur kunde en ung man som var så nyckfull och arrogant att han blev utslängd från företaget han var med och grundade komma tillbaka och bli en av vår tids mest visionära företagsledare - och därmed förändra miljarder människors vardagsliv?BRENT SCHLENDER rapporterade löpande om Steve Jobs och Apple i Wall Street Journal och Fortune under nästan 25 år. Han kände dessutom Steve Jobs personligen, och använder sig i den här boken av material både från sina många intervjuer med Jobs och från deras inofficiella samtal.RICK TETZELI, chefredaktör på Fast Company, har skrivit om teknik i två decennier. Han har tidigare varit redaktör på både Fortune och Entertainment Weekly. »Schlender och Tetzeli presenterar en välavvägd och noggrann berättelse om Jobs toppar och dalar, med ord hämtade från de som kände honom bäst. Det är en dokumentation över ett häpnadsväckande liv, som hittills bara varit tillgängligt genom ett filter av medierapportering och vad Jobs själv ville tillåta. Det tvingar oss att tänka annorlunda.« | APPLE INSIDER»Den här boken lyckas fånga Jobs återhämtningsförmåga, hans vägran att ge upp, hans rastlösa drivkraft att hålla sig kvar i leken, hans enorma kunskapsaptit detta, långt mer än bara genialitet, är vad som gjorde honom stor. Att bli Steve Jobs har precis rätt fokus: inte en framgångssaga, men en utvecklingshistoria. Uppslukande, insiktsfullt, inspirerande läs och lär!« | JIM COLLINS, författare till Good to Great

'I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life.'Steve JobsSteve Jobs in Exile tells the largely unexplored story of the dozen years Steve Jobs spent building NeXt in the aftermath of his firing from Apple, the company he founded, in 1985. This period would see Jobs at his most creative, vulnerable and intense. It would redefine him as a designer and a leader, ultimately leading to the later resurgence and dominance of Apple following his triumphant return. Yet this crucial period remains woefully under-covered. Award-winning writer Geoffrey Cain changes that.Utilising a trove of new material, including dozens of hours of unbroadcast footage of Jobs at NeXT's meetings and retreats, new interviews and unpublished oral histories with Jobs and his colleagues, new first-hand material and countless internal documents, Steve Jobs in Exile is the definitive history of the most remarkable period in the life of Steve Jobs.

'This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject' - Telegraph Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

_______________'Through original interviews, a smart use of source material, and a wonderfully easy-going style, Blumenthal gives a full portrait of Jobs ...This is a smart book about a smart subject by a smart writer' - Ilene Cooper, American Library Journal_______________Inventor.

Through his life he was loved, hated, admired and dismissed, yet he was a living legend; the genius who founded Apple in his parent's garage when he was just 21 years old, revolutionising the music world. He single-handedly introduced the first computer that could sit on your desk, and founded and nurtured a company called Pixar, bringing to life Oscar-winning animations Toy Story and Finding Nemo.So how did the man -- who was neither engineer nor computer geek -- change the world we live in, making us want every product he touched?On graduation day in 2005, a fifty-year-old Steve Jobs said: "Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. My second story is about love and loss. My third story is about death."This is his story.Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man, from his adoption and early years through to the pinnacles of his career, his dismissal from his duties at Apple (for being too disruptive and difficult) to the graduation where he gave the commencement speech just 6 years before his death, giving life to what were soon to become some of most famous quotes of his career, ending with the message: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.""Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."
