Publisher Description

In this encore to his classic 1987 unauthorized biography of Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs: The Journey is the Reward), Jeffrey Young examines Jobs' remarkable resurgence, one of the most amazing business comeback stories in years.

Lightning never strikes twice, but Steve Jobs has. Transforming modern culture first with the Macintosh and now the iPod, he's also dazzled and delighted audiences with his Pixar movies. And along the way, he's bedeviled, destroyed, and demoralized hundreds of people. Ten years after the leading maverick of the computer age and the king of digital cool crashed from the height of Apple's meteoric rise, Steve Jobs rose from the ashes in a Machiavellian coup, and has now become more famous than ever.

"Steve Jobs, what a brilliant brilliant asshole! Gotta love him. Never thought I would find the story of building a company so fascinating, what is even more incredible, is since this has been written this would only be ACT 1! This book should be expanded "

    " A very interesting book on Steve Jobs and the rise, fall, and rise of Apple. Steve Jobs is a punk. He's a slave driver, but has found obvious success in Apple (though he stole most of it from his colleagues and took credit). "

    " The book is a good introduction about who Steve Jobs is, before the arrival of his official biography. It portrays Steve as he generally known, genius and tyrant :) also involved is the stories of Next and Pixar and how he was involved in their history. "

    " So far it's a real page turner. Assuming that even half of the stuff about Jobs is true, I'm amazed, appalled, and disgusted. For a mac head, this definitely complicates one's faith. "
