Steve Jobs

Genudgivelse i pocket-format.Gennem mere end to år har Walter Isaacson interviewet Steve Jobs, hans familie, venner, rådgivere, konkurrenter og kolleger. Resultatet er et hudløst og skarpt portræt af en af vor tids vigtigste entreprenører samt et indblik i en ekstraordinær personlighed.Steve Jobs har revolutioneret vores digitale verden – fra den måde vi hører musik på, til den måde vi kommunikerer. Det har han gjort ved at insistere på at kombinere legende kreativitet med den nyeste teknologi. Og ved et næsten umenneskeligt engagement. Intet overlades til tilfældighederne af den både perfektionistiske og fandenivoldske Steve Jobs. Den indstilling har både lagt fundamentet til et af verdens mest indflydelsesrige og innovative virksomheder og skabt Steve Jobs en stor fanskare – samt ikke så få fjender. I bogen fortæller Steve Jobs ærligt, nogle gange brutalt ærligt, om både samarbejdspartnere og konkurrenter. Tilsvarende holder hans venner, fjender og kolleger ikke igen, når de fortæller om Jobs passioner, dæmoner og kontrolmani eller om hans perfektionisme, hans drivkraft og de suveræne resultater, hans særlige tilgang til livet og til forretningsverdenen resulterede i. Walter Isaacson har interviewet Steve Jobs flere end 40 gange til bogen. Jobs stilledevelvilligtop, men han udbadsig ingennogen form for indflydelse på bogens indhold. Som Jobs selv formulerer det i biografien: ”Jeg har gjort mange ting, jeg ikke er stolt af. (…) Men jeg har ikke nogen skeletter i skabet, der ikke kan tåle dagens lys”.

Steve Jobs er af verdens mest succesfulde topledere. Han er benhård, karismatisk og med en nærmest overjordisk sans for at udvælge de rigtige ideer på det rigtige tidspunkt. Og så har han gjort marketing til en event-disciplin som dækkes af samtlige medier over hele kloden. Under Steve Jobs´ledelse har Apple opnået utrolige resultater: Selskabet er gået fra nær fallit til at slå Google og Microsoft i markedsværdi Apple har revolutioneret musikbranchen med iPod og den digitale medietjeneste iTunes. iPhone har totalt ændret magtbalancen i det globale mobiltelefonmarked Apple har opfundet en helt ny forretningsmodel for software, musik og medier<span style="text-align: left;

Baseret på mere end fyrre interviews med Steve Jobs selv og en lang række samtaler med familie, venner, modstandere, konkurrenter og kolleger har Walter Isaacson skrevet et hudløst og nuanceret portræt af Steve Jobs' intense og ekstraordinære liv. Biografien giver indblik i det enestående og solide brand, som Jobs har skabt omkring Apple – og ikke mindst sig selv. Walter Isaacson går bag om brandet og skriver ærligt om Steve Jobs’ smittende kreativitet og engagement, men også om hvordan han kæmpede med perfektionisme og et overdrevent behov for kontrol. Det er en fortælling, som både er til inspiration og advarsel, når Walter Isaacson også forholder sig til de omkostninger, det har haft for Steve Jobs at revolutionere tech-industrien med hans kompromisløse tilgang og innovative designs. Walter Isaacson (f. 1952) er professor i historie, journalist samt forfatter og er især kendt for at være en af vor tids største biografister med fokus på at portrættere visionære og innovative personligheder, der har sat deres præg på verden. Walter Isaacson står bl.a. bag den fulde biografi om Albert Einstein (2007) og senest den længeventede biografi om Elon Musk (2023).

'This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject' - Telegraph Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness. Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

Walter Isaacson's "enthralling" (The New Yorker) worldwide bestselling biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years--as well as interviews with more than 100 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. Isaacson's portrait touched millions of readers. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with the author, he asked for no control over what was written. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. He himself spoke candidly about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues offer an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values. Steve Jobs is the inspiration for the movie of the same name starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin.
