About Steve Jobs, the book

 

Over the course of two years, author Walter Isaacson was given the opportunity to conduct upwards of forty in-depth interviews with Jobs, in addition to many others conducted with hundreds of people closest to Jobs. This permitted him to gain unmatched insight into Jobs' life. According to Isaacson, Jobs valued honesty and wished for the other interviewees to speak openly. Jobs himself only asked for control over the book's cover but abstained from interfering with its content. "Steve Jobs" became Amazon's best-selling book of the year. Read more>>
