Full title is iCon: Steve Jobs, The Greatest Act in the History of Business. The unauthorized biography written by Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon tracks his rise from making and selling blueboxes with Wozniak to founding Apple Computer, to getting booted out of Apple, to founding NeXT Inc., to buying Pixar from Lucas, and back to heading Apple and unleashing iPod into the world.Main takeaway from the audiobook is that all you need is one hit, and everything is forgiven. You can produce flops like the Macintosh, the NeXT Computer, the NeXTcube, the Pixar Image Computer, etc. As long as you have the iPod to save the day, then it's all good.
