[Book Review] Steve Jobs--The Exclusive Biography by Walter Issacson


Rating: 3/5
Genre: Non-Fiction, Biography
Book Review:

       The reasons I like biography is that it is inspring. I’d like to know more about someone I admire, and Steve Jobs was one of them. I started  out knowing next to nothing about Steve Jobs (although I own an iPod nano and a Mac book pro). I was kind of curious about the people behind it. From this book, I learn a lot about Steve Jobs, his invention, and his company. To most people, Steve was a Genious. But who would have known that he had a very conflicting personality. He was a firm believer in Hindu and Zen. Yet, he was obnoxious and very hard to deal with. He’d like to be at the intersection of technology and humanity. Yet, he was no humanitarian. He did everything in his own way regardless of whether his action will hurt others. I’m glad that I get to know that side of him.
