Steve Jobs, i-konen
Den egensinnige kreatören, den maniske perfektionisten. Vi kände honom som den store uppfinnaren, den som revolutionerat vårt sätt att umgås och förhålla oss till världen och totalt förändrat vårt vardagsliv. Men vem var han? Och hur kom han att bli till den ikon han är idag? Vilka var hans drivkrafter? Vilka tankar och människor påverkade honom, stöttade honom, bjöd honom motstånd?
För första gången berättar Steve Jobs om sitt liv och sitt arbete. Under flera års tid och i över fyrtio intervjuer har Steve Jobs berättat öppenhjärtigt för vetenskapshistorikern Walter Isaacson om sin uppväxt, sitt privatliv och sin karriär. Han har inga skäl kvar att dölja någonting. Här berättar han allt.
Det här är historien om en man som mer än någon annan personifierar vår tid, en symbol för den mänskliga kreativiteten och ett synsätt där form och innehåll är lika viktiga.
Steve Jobs har, med sitt driv och sin ständiga jakt på perfektion, totalt revolutionerat vår värld och vårt sätt att leva. Han släppte in datorn i hemmet, gav den tecknade filmen en renässans, stöpte i ett enda slag om musikindustrin med sin i-Pod och med i-Phonen förvandlade han telefonen till ett oumbärligt vardagsredskap -- och en väldigt kul leksak. Samtidigt.
Steve Jobs avled i oktober 2011, 56 år gammal.

'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material, including dozens of hours of unbroadcast footage of Jobs at NeXT's meetings and retreats, new interviews and unpublished oral histories with Jobs and his colleagues, new first-hand material and countless internal documents, Steve Jobs in Exile is the definitive history of the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.

»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

'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' - TelegraphBased 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 isthe acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whosepassion 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 speakhonestly. 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. And as Isaacson shows in a new afterword commemorating the tenth anniversary of Jobs's death, that visionremains even more vital today.

The Untold Story of Steve Jobs's Wilderness Years—and the Creation of a LegendIn 1985, Steve Jobs—the brilliant, volatile founder of Apple Computer—walked out of his company's headquarters, driven from the very corporation he had created. What happened next would transform not only his life and career, but the future of technology itself.For twelve years, from 1985 to 1997, Jobs wandered the business wilderness with his new venture, NeXT. It was a period of spectacular failures, near-bankruptcy, and brutal humiliation. But out of this crucible of defeat emerged the visionary leader who would go on to create the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, transforming Apple into the most valuable company on earth.Drawing on previously unpublished materials and new interviews with the key players, Geoffrey Cain reveals the untold story of Steve Jobs's "lost decade"—the formative years that shaped the icon we thought we knew. With unprecedented access to unbroadcast footage of Jobs in NeXT meetings, private company documents, and interviews with his closest colleagues, Cain offers the definitive account of how failure transformed a brash wunderkind into a true business genius.This is the story of how Steve Jobs learned to lead, how he discovered the power of discipline, and how a spectacular failure became the foundation for one of the greatest comebacks in business history. It is nothing less than the missing piece in the legend of Steve Jobs.

The Four Lives of Steve JobsDaniel IchbiahNo. 1 on the best-sellers list in August 2011 (French version).New edition updated in 2016"So at thirty I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating……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."This was Steve Jobs'' confession on that morning in June 2005 to students at Stanford University. It summed up the growth that was slowly taking place in him. Chased out of Apple like scum in 1985, Jobs had made a resounding comeback ten years later and gave us devices that left a mark on their time, such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad.The world''s most admired CEO, Steve Jobs mostly went against the tide, driven by a vision of genius and an extraordinary strength of conviction. However, he could also get it wrong: he was the one who nearly ruined Apple in 1984 after launching the Macintosh by insisting on poor technical choices!The 4 lives of Steve Jobs depicts Jobs'' troubled youth, his rise to glory following the founding of Apple, his disgrace and his vain attempt at revenge followed by a return to the top. It also reveals a thousand unexpected facets of the extraordinary artist who ran Apple. * His quest for enlightenment in India * His initial refusal to recogniae the paternity of his daughter Lisa * His relationship with folk singer Joan Baez * The search for his mother, who abandoned him at birth* The attempt to treat his cancer with a vegetarian dietIn his own way, Steve Jobs never stopped wanting to change the world, to change life...A best-sellerPublished by Leduc Editions in April 2011, the French version of The Four Lives of Steve Jobs was a number one best-seller at the end of August, 2011.

Le 4 vite di Steve JobsDaniel IchbiahN°1 nelle hit-parade di vendite nell’agosto del 2011.Nuova edizione 2016 aggiornata «A trent’anni mi sono ritrovato sul lastrico. Licenziato brutalmente. La mia ragion d’essere non esisteva più. Ero a pezzi.Non me ne resi conto subito, ma la mia partenza forzata da Apple fu salutare…»Questa è la confessione di Steve Jobs fatta questa mattina di giugno del 2005 agli studenti dell’Università di Stanford. Riassumeva la maturazione che è lentamente avvenuta in lui. Cacciato da Apple come un sudicio nel 1985, Jobs ha effettuato un ritorno clamoroso dieci anni dopo producendo opere che hanno marcato la loro epoca come l’iPod, l’iPhone e l’iPad. Il CEO più ammirato del mondo, Steve Jobs ha spesso navigato controcorrente, spinto da una propria visione geniale e da una forza di convinzione fuori dal comune. Eppure, poteva anche sbagliarsi: è stato lui stesso ad aver quasi fatto fallire Apple nel 1984 dopo aver lanciato il Macintosh, imponendo delle scelte tecniche incoerenti!Le 4 vite di Steve Jobs racconta dell’infanzia turbolenta di Jobs, l’ascesa alla gloria dopo la fondazione di Apple, la sua disgrazia e il tentativo vano di vendetta seguito a un ritorno in apoteosi.

"One to one, no one is as compelling, as charismatic, as seductive as Steve Jobs. It''s just magic." – Alan Deutschman on "Bloomberg West" in August 2011In this original e-essay, part of the forthcoming book Why Steve Jobs Matters, veteran Silicon Valley journalist Alan Deutschman describes how Jobs changed the world we live in forever.

Now, Alan Deutschman brings together the intersecting stories of Steve Jobs—his personal life and the truly great corporation he created—to show readers "How Steve Jobs Changed Our World."

_______________'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. Visionary. Genius. Dropout. Adopted. Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple, and he was all of these things.Steve Jobs has been described as a showman, artist, tyrant, genius, jerk. 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."

2012 Audie Award Finalist for Audiobook of the YearWalter Isaacson’s “enthralling” (The New Yorker) worldwide bestselling biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in 21st century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with the author, he asked for no control over what was written. 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. Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values. Steve Jobs is the inspiration for the movie of the same name starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin.

His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values. Steve Jobs is the inspiration for the movie of the same name starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin.
