Steve Jobs' legacy is clear: The most innovative business leader of our time, the man FORTUNE named CEO of the Decade in 2009. Now from the pages of FORTUNE comes an anthology of 17 classic stories spanning the years 1983 to 2011 about the cultural icon who revolutionized computing, telephones, movies, music, retailing, and product design. The stories lay out in unparalleled detail the career of a man with relentless drive and a single underlying passion-to carry out his vision of how all of us would use technology. Writes managing editor Andy Serwer in the book's foreward: "In the end he was proved right a billion times over, and his company Apple became one of the most successful enterprises on the planet." All these stories are the product of deep reporting. In many cases FORTUNE's writers spent hours interviewing Jobs and delving into his mind. The result is a singular journalistic collection, which will leave you with a comprehensive picture of Steve Jobs and Apple, a picture that is complex in the making yet simple in its triumph.

A very good and thorough book on the topic

I always thought Steve Jobs was a "bit of a tyrant" - this book just proves it.
To make Apple and Pixar the successful companies they are required
somebody "different" - Steve Jobs is certainly that.
You get to know him quite well through this book and yet he makes you
feel uncomfortable about corporate life.
His background and performance is very different from the "norm" but it
worked so well. Sadly he had to be like that to succeed. Tough on the family.
A book you won't forget.

This Kindle collection of articles about Steve Jobs is an incredible resource to learn about one of the most successful and admired businessmen of our age. In addition to his biography, I feel like I understand Steve and what he accomplished so much better.

I would recommend this to any business, technology, or Apple enthusiast. Awesome collection!

Jobs was an incredible thinker and developer of innovating and quality products. This well written brief bio gives you a good picture of the man, his genius and hid faults both of which made him the success he was. Strongly recommend you read this before his full bio.

A must read for times of crisis

I have not decided yet to read the biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. I decided to start with this book because the stories were done over the career of Steve Jobs. I think that has a special value. There were not written last minute before the news of Jobs' illness and death.
Jobs was a businessman who took high risks with companies that might end in failure. In fact Pixar was in serious financial trouble until he got the deal with Disney (Toy Story).
I recommend this book. It is excellent not only for entrepreneurs and businessmen. It is an inspiring book.

This attempt to capitalise on the name of Steve Jobs serves only to confirm that the authorised biography is the best option if you want to know Steve Jobs.

If nothing else he would have hated it for the simple fact its only inspiration seems to be to make a buck rather than serve a legitimate purpose.

You wont learn anything from this Dross.

Very interesting timeline perspective of one of the men behind the ups and downs of Apple and the brain behind the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Very objective perspective and look at the genius and imperfections of the man.

Steve was a true genius -- ego eccentric -- but interesting. I don't think I would have enjoyed working for Apple with him as a boss....he wasn't always a nice person.
