 Walter Isaacson -- Steve Jobs -- Temple Judea On Saturday, you’ll have to buy the tickets at the door. Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs (Simon & Schuster, $35) conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues— Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
