Steve Jobs leaves behind an extraordinary legacy, putting him
in a class with America''s greatest industrialists. He was the most
innovative business leader of our time, the man FORTUNE named CEO
of the Decade in 2009. Now from FORTUNE comes the richly
illustrated story of his life at the helm of Apple, based in part
on three decades of FORTUNE stories about the cultural icon who
revolutionized computing, telephones, movies, music, retailing, and
product design. FORTUNE was with him every step of the way,
describing in unparalleled detail the career of a man with
relentless drive and a single underlying passion-to carry out his
vision of how all of us would use technology. In the end he was
proved right a billion times over, and his company became one of
the most successful enterprises on the planet. All of these
chapters are the product of deep reporting. In many cases FORTUNE''s
writers spent hours interviewing Jobs and delving into his mind.
The result is a singular journalistic collection, which will leave
you with a comprehensive picture of a man who changed the world, a
picture that is complex in the making yet simple in its
triumph.
