| Summary |
Told through a combination of black-and-white illustrations and handwritten text, this biography in graphic format presents the story of the ultimate American entrepreneur, the man who brought us Apple Computer, Pixar, Macs, iPods, iPhones, and more. Jobs's life reads like a history of the personal technology industry. He started Apple Computer in his parents' garage and eventually became the tastemaker of a generation, creating products we can't live without. Through it all, he was an overbearing and demanding perfectionist, both impossible and inspiring. Capturing his brilliance, as well as his many demons, Jessie Hartland's biography illuminates the meteoric successes, devastating setbacks, and myriad contradictions that make up the life and legacy of Steve Jobs. |
