Life and Times of Apple's Visionary | Book Insights on Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

*The story of Steve Jobs’s rise, fall and restoration at Apple resembled a Greek epic, and Walter Isaacson was fascinated by the chance to reconstruct this odyssey.  *Like the fabled Icarus, Jobs tested the limits of technology and design to soar ever higher.  *But while he took a number of nosedives – descending for a time from the heights of Apple’s leadership – he never totally crashed to Earth, but was held aloft by his imagination and peerless intuition about the future.  *That remarkable inventiveness helped Apple launch a series of planet-changing products, led by Jobs’s vision of the sublime integration of art, design, ideas and technology.
