Walter Isaacson, the CEO of the Aspen Institute, has been ch airman of CNN and the managing editor of Time magazine. He is the author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life and of Kissinger: A Biography, and the coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and daughter.
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred 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, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first 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 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.
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.

评分1.现实扭曲力场,看完整本书,这个词在我脑中挥之不去。这种强大到逆天的能力可以说是乔布斯改变世界的一个重要武器,力场一开,黑的就变成白的,假的变成真的,不可能变成可能。今年大脑一热,买了个itouch,就这小东西我都觉得是个现实扭曲力场的终端机,可以把我恶心得想吐...
评分这个人的性格极度敏感。 也许,正是这样的极度敏感,才让他可以不断地创造出奇妙的事物,给如此平庸的世界带来这么多的不平庸。 为何这么敏感?年幼时被亲生父母抛弃的经历,使他偏执地想得到全世界的认可,好让他从根深蒂固的恐惧和自我否定中解脱出来。 他在几寸大小的屏...
