Steve Jobs

Astonishingly lacking in insight. Is there a less curious person in the world than Walter Isaacs? What a Gradgrindian bore: we have facts here, but not a portrait of a person. It's so poor that it reflects badly on Jobs that he chose Isaacs, who seems to fit my prejudiced idea of an old school Time magazine bore, writing about people widely judged to be important, but without anything so unbecoming as personal interest in their achievements. Jobs' own attachment to the establishment and to canonical figures, despite his supposed allegiance to crazy outsiders, is one of many interesting themes you can't read about here.
After a while, the only interest is in noting how many times Jobs, CEO of the company that will become more or less the world's largest, cries to get what he wants. Interesting behaviour and worth discussing, but of course Isaacs never asks him about it, instead just logging the incident with all the panache of a man filling out his expenses form.
