»Den enda boken om Steve Jobs som rekommenderas av de som kände honom bäst.« | APPLE INC.»En fantastisk bok. Efter att ha jobbat med Steve i över 25 år känner jag att den med stor insikt fångar hur hans komplexa och unika personlighet utvecklades. Jag hoppas att den kommer att betraktas som den definitiva biografin.« | ED CATMULL, VD PIXAR & DiISNEY ANIMATIONAtt bli Steve Jobs är en djuplodande och nyanserad biografi som ifrågasätter den etablerade bilden av Steve Jobs som lika delar geni och skitstövel, som en självisk och temperamentsfull ledargestalt, hänsynslös mot både medarbetare och vänner.Utifrån intervjuer med Steve Jobs inre krets - familj, vänner och konkurrenter - har journalistveteranerna Brent Schlender & Rick Tetzeli (den förstnämnde även personlig vän till Jobs) tecknat ett betydligt mer mångfacetterat och intimt porträtt av Jobs än tidigare biografier. Med avstamp i hans första tid som grundare och VD för NeXT och köpet av Pixar 1986 framträder en person som genomgår en långsam men dramatisk utveckling, kantad av misstag, omskakande insikter och misslyckanden.Här besvaras inte minst den mest brännande frågan om Apple-VD:ns liv och karriär: Hur kunde en ung man som var så nyckfull och arrogant att han blev utslängd från företaget han var med och grundade komma tillbaka och bli en av vår tids mest visionära företagsledare? En person som skulle förändra miljarder människors vardagsliv?BRENT SCHLENDER rapporterade löpande om Steve Jobs och Apple i Wall Street Journal och Fortune under nästan 25 år. Han kände dessutom Steve Jobs personligen, och använder sig i den här boken av material både från sina många intervjuer med Jobs och från deras inofficiella samtal.RICK TETZELI, chefredaktör på Fast Company, har skrivit om teknik i två decennier. Han har tidigare varit redaktör på både Fortune och Entertainment Weekly. »Schlender och Tetzeli presenterar en välavvägd och noggrann berättelse om Jobs toppar och dalar, med ord hämtade från de som kände honom bäst. Det är en dokumentation över ett häpnadsväckande liv, som hittills bara varit tillgängligt genom ett filter av medierapportering och vad Jobs själv ville tillåta. Det tvingar oss att tänka annorlunda.« | APPLE INSIDER»Den här boken lyckas fånga Jobs återhämtningsförmåga, hans vägran att ge upp, hans rastlösa drivkraft att hålla sig kvar i leken, hans enorma kunskapsaptit detta, långt mer än bara genialitet, är vad som gjorde honom stor. Att bli Steve Jobs har precis rätt fokus: inte en framgångssaga, men en utvecklingshistoria. Uppslukande, insiktsfullt, inspirerande läs och lär!« | JIM COLLINS, författare till Good to Great

Former Wall Street Journal technology reporter Yukari Iwatani Kane delves deep inside Apple in the two years since Steve Jobs's death, revealing the tensions and challenges CEO Tim Cook and his team face as they try to sustain Jobs's vision and keep the company moving forward. Steve Jobs's death raised one of the most pressing questions in the tech and business worlds: Could Apple stay great without its iconic leader? Many inside the company were eager to prove that Apple could be just as innovative as it had been under Jobs. Others were painfully aware of the immense challenge ahead. As its business has become more complex and global, Apple has come under intense scrutiny, much of it critical. Maintaining market leadership has become crucial as it tries to conquer new frontiers and satisfy the public's insatiable appetite for "insanely great" products. Based on over two hundred interviews with current and former executives, business partners, Apple watchers and others, Haunted Empire is an illuminating portrait of Apple today that offers clues to its future. With nuanced insights and colorful details that only a seasoned journalist could glean, Kane goes beyond the myths and headlines. She explores Tim Cook's leadership and its impact on Jobs's loyal lieutenants, new product development, and Apple's relationships with Wall Street, the government, tech rivals, suppliers, the media, and consumers. Hard-hitting yet fair, Haunted Empire reveals the perils and opportunities an iconic company faces when it loses its visionary leader.

The summer of 1971 marks a quiet unraveling in the life of seventeen-year-old Steven Colston. Beneath the ordinary rhythms of small-town life, Steve is caught in a private storm. He adores his girlfriend, yet he cannot silence the pull he feels toward other boys-an inner truth he barely understands himself, and one his friends are beginning to sense with unsettling clarity. As he strains to navigate a world with no language for what he feels, the boundaries of his identity begin to blur. But the turmoil within him is mirrored by a darker tension at home. Steve's stepfather carries a festering grudge against Steve's mother, a vindictive motive woven into the very foundation of their marriage. The man's simmering cruelty toward Steve and his siblings grows harder to ignore, and the way his gaze lingers on Steve's younger sister sends a chill deeper than fear. Driven by equal parts protectiveness and desperation, Steve becomes determined to unearth the truth his family has been forced to live beneath-no matter where it leads or what it costs him.

"Sports journalism at its finest, a book so well-researched that everyone who thinks they know Pre is in for a big surprise." --Christopher McDougall, bestselling author of Born to RunOn the 50th anniversary of American Track and Field icon Steve Prefontaine's tragic death comes an essential reappraisal of his life and legacy, a powerful work of narrative history exploring the forces and psychology that made Prefontaine great and separating the man from the myths. In the fifty years since his tragic death in a car crash, Steve Prefontaine has towered over American distance running. One of the most recognizable and charismatic figures to ever run competitively in the United States, Prefontaine has endured as a source of inspiration and fascination--a talent who presaged the American running boom of the late 1970s and helped put Nike on the map as the brand's first celebrity-athlete face.Now on the anniversary of his untimely death, author Brendan O'Meara, host of the Creative Nonfiction podcast, offers a fresh, definitive retelling of Prefontaine's life, revisiting one of the most enigmatic figures in American sports with a twenty-first-century lens. Through over a hundred and fifty original interviews with family, friends, teammates, and competitors, this long-overdue reappraisal of Prefontaine--the first such exhaustive treatment in almost thirty years--provides never-before-told stories about the unique talent, innovative mental strength, and personal struggles that shaped Prefontaine on and off the track. Bringing new depth to an athlete long eclipsed by his brash, aggressive running style and the heartbreak of his death at twenty-four, O'Meara finds the man inside the myth, scrutinizing a legacy that has shaped American sports culture for decades.What emerges is a singular portrait of a distinctly American talent, a story written in the pines and firs of the Pacific Northwest back when running was more blue-collar love than corporate pursuit--the story of a runner whose short life casts a long, fast shadow.
