Omtale fra forlaget
The phenomenal bestseller about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs from the author of the acclaimed biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years--as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues--Walter Isaacson set down the 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. Isaacson's portrait touched hundreds of thousands of readers. 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 still 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 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. He himself spoke candidly about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues offer an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped Jobs's approach to business, the innovative products that resulted, and his legacy.

Veldig bra, klarte ikke legge den fra meg. Gledet meg hver kveld for å lese videre, sjelden jeg leser så lange bøker.
Den dagen han avduket Macintosh, spurte en reporter fra publikasjonen Popular Science Jobs hvilken form for markedsundersøkelser han hadde gjort. Jobs avviste spørsmålet hånlig: "Foretok Alexander Graham Bell markedsundersøkelser før han oppfant telefonen?"
Det å huske at jeg snart er død er det viktigste verktøyet jeg noensinne har vært borti når det gjelder å hjelpe meg å ta de store beslutningene i livet. For nesten alt - alle ytre forventninger, all stolthet, all frykt for å dumme seg ut eller mislykkes - disse tingene faller bare bort når man stilles ansikt til ansikt med døden. Bare det som egentlig er viktig står igjen. Det å huske at man skal dø er den beste metoden jeg kjenner for å unngå den fellen det er å tro at man har noe å tape. Du er allerede naken. Det er ingen grunn til å la være å følge hjertet. (Fra Steve Jobs eksamenstale ved Stanford uni. 2005.)
The idea that John Lasseter pitched was called "Toy Story". It sprang from a belief, which he and Jobs shared, that products have an essence to them, a purpose for which they were made. If the object were to have feelings, these would be based on its desire to fulfill its essence. The purpose of a glass, for example, is to hold water; if it had feelings, it would be happy when full and sad when empty.
He (Jobs) emphasized that you should never start a company with the goal of getting rich. Your goal should be making something you believe in and making a company that will last.
