About the author
Walter Isaacson is an American journalist, teacher, and biographer of figures in science, technology, politics, and art. His books are built from extensive interviews and from the friction between a subject's preferred story and other people's memories.
Steve Jobs asked Walter Isaacson to write his biography and gave him no right to approve the manuscript. Isaacson interviewed Jobs more than forty times, then spoke with family members, friends, competitors, designers, engineers, and colleagues who often remembered the same events differently.
Where to start
