Steve Jobs

"Walter Isaacson has come closer to Jobs than probably any other journalist before him." (Handelsblatt) │ "Clear, elegant and concise." (New York Times) │ "Full of moments that take your breath away." (The Guardian) │ The only authorised biography of the exceptional genius - now in paperback with a new afterword
Macintosh, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad - Steve Jobs lent aesthetics and aura to the digital world with the cult brand Apple. To this day, he is regarded as the style icon of the IT age, a gifted mastermind who uncompromisingly pursued his ideas. Ingenious and self-confident, he made the apple with a bite synonymous with innovation and vision despite economic and personal crises.

But who was this master of staging, what drove him? Walter Isaacson won the trust of the Apple boss and, as the first biographer, was able to rely on his unreserved support during the many years of research, as well as that of his family, his companions and also his opponents. Jobs co-operated fully with Isaacson, but made it clear from the outset that he placed no limits on his biographer. The result is an intimate, honest and impressive portrait of Steve Jobs and his company - and not just for Apple fans.

The book met with an enthusiastic response from readers and the press when it was published and quickly became a worldwide phenomenon and a million-selling bestseller. As the only biography ever authorised by Steve Jobs, it is the ultimate look behind the scenes at Apple and into the mind of a man who changed the world forever.
