The Second Coming of Steve Jobs

A portrayal of a determined, successful entrepreneur apparently as insecure and asshole-ish as he is genius. This focuses on his resurgence from found NeXT, the failed computer platform development company that specialized in computers for higher-education and business markets, to a fire sale purchase of the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm, which was spun off independently as Pixar. Pixar produced the first computer-animated feature film, Toy Story (1995), and became a leading animation studio, producing dozens of commercially successful and critically acclaimed films. At the same time, and while stepping over key employees and his baby mama, he also triumphantly returned to Apple.

A gossipy collection of loosely connected stories about Steve Jobs. Clearly a journalist's book, it proceeds in paragraph fits and keeps restating its premises.

Digressive nonetheless it is about my hero. I enjoyed it. #first read on March 13 2010

/*** read this book for the third time. Narration was journalistic at times( as if it is an excerpt from a newspaper) but the research is good.
