An amazing book. Not only does it bring forward the dark side of Steve Jobs, but also portrays why he was the man he was, bit by bit, very beautifully. A lot of take-aways from this book for me on both personal and professional levels. I'll surely be following this one up with Walter Isaacson's Jobs a year or two down the line. It's surely a recommended read.

The best of the unauthorized bios on Steve Jobs. The official one is coming soon - it will be interesting to see how much Jobs decides to give away in his version of events. I don't expect him to tell it warts and all. Like all Apple products it will be well polished and exactly as Jobs wants it to be.

This book chronicles the life of Steve Jobs through the early part of the 2000's. It talks about everything from his estranged daughter, his unique lifestyle, the founding of Apple and his forced exit. Where the book was most interesting (to me) was when Jobs returned to Apple and how his approach had changed. He was still driven and passionate about his goals for Apple but he was more aware of the management aspects of his role as CEO.
iCon demonstrates how the flawed but driven man reshaped the world of technology. The book further demonstrates that, with his passing in Oct 2011, Steve Jobs will be sorely missed by Apple and the world of technology.

I find Jobs a fascinating person. A tyrant with a sharp marketing mind who has brought Apple back from the brink. Clearly a flawed man, but a brilliant businessman. No other single CEO has had such direct impact on the fortunes of his company.
