+ Want to read

This short biography traces the personal and professional path of Steve Jobs. Adopted as an infant, he grew into the figure most associated with Apple, the technology company he helped build. The book shows how he sought out new experiences, pursued bold product ideas and created demand for gadgets no one had yet asked for. After being pushed out of the firm he founded, he went on to shape Pixar's work in digital animation. The account highlights his persistence, his attention to design, and the lessons his story offers anyone hoping to chart a difficult course.
