Icon Steve Jobs

iCon takes a look at the most astounding figure in a business era
noted for its mavericks, oddballs, and iconoclasts. Drawing on a
wide range of sources, Jeffrey Young and William Simon provide new
perspectives on the legendary creation of Apple, detail Jobs's
meteoric rise, and the devastating plunge that left him not only
out of Apple, but out of the computer-making business entirely.
This unflinching and completely unauthorized portrait reveals both
sides of Jobs's role in the remarkable rise of the Pixar animation
studio, also re-creates the acrimony between Jobs and Disney's
Michael Eisner, and examines Jobs's dramatic his rise from the
ashes with his recapture of Apple. The authors examine the takeover
and Jobs's reinvention of the company with the popular iMac and his
transformation of the industry with the revolutionary iPod. iCon is
must reading for anyone who wants to understand how the modern
digital age has been formed, shaped, and refined by the most
influential figure of the age-a master of three industries: movies,
music, and computers.
