really liked it

Very interesting to dive into the life of a man that has changed the world as most of nowadays communication technologies is based on his thoughts of how technology should interact with humans.

During reading this book you want to be Jobs but at the same time don't want to be Jobs. He demonstrates symptoms of narcism although in most cases this led to the right solution. Without his perseverance he wouldn't have achieved this all.

Many things of the emergence of information technologies became clear to me as a the author provides enough historical events on the larger roadmap. Also the developments of the main concurrents as Microsoft, Google, Xerox and Oracle in that time are mentioned which clarifies the importance of the events that took place in that specific area, Silicon Valley.
