I am continuing to read Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs on devices Jobs created, an iPad and an iPhone. I’m up to the cancer and the iPhone.
It is an exceptional well-written book, telling a fascinating story about a unique and important individual — and an extraordinarily eccentric one. If you have any interest whatsoever about the man or his technology, I assure you this book will be enjoyable. It’s a read where I keep looking to see how much is left, not because I want it to end, because I fear it will. It’s that good.
If you’re looking for a review, I recommend Review: Walter Isaacson’s ‘Steve Jobs’.
Isaacson’s Benjamin Franklin: An American Life is equally superb. I have a copy of his Einstein: His Life and Universe but have never read it. I will soon.
I didn’t recognize the name, but I have one of his I haven’t read yet “The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made”.
