Steve Jobs
La biografía
Walter Isaacson's biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs is a captivating exploration of the life and personality of a creative entrepreneur whose relentless pursuit of perfection transformed six industries: personal computers, animated films, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Drawing from over forty interviews with Jobs and more than 100 conversations with family, friends, adversaries, and colleagues, Isaacson crafts a compelling narrative that resonates with millions. As America seeks to maintain its innovative edge, Jobs emerges as the quintessential symbol of creativity and technological synergy. He believed in merging imagination with engineering to create value in the modern era. Despite cooperating with the author, Jobs allowed complete freedom in storytelling, encouraging honest reflections from those around him. This openness reveals the complexities of his character—his passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, and need for control—all of which influenced his business philosophy and led to groundbreaking products. The biography serves as both an instructive and cautionary tale, offering valuable insights into innovation, leadership, and personal values. Jobs' story also inspired a film featuring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin.
