Isaacson: 'Nice' Not an Adjective to Describe Steve Jobs
Commonwealth Club - Mark Hopkins Hotel
Drawing on more than 40 interviews with Steve Jobs himself, critically acclaimed and bestselling biographer Walter Isaacson presents a remarkable new account of Jobs. After two years of research, speaking with family members, friends, competitors and colleagues, Isaacson has compiled the story and life of one of the most influential people of the modern era. Apple cofounder Steve Jobs was a visionary and an inspiration to both tech geeks and luddites worldwide. His products fused technology and design in unprecedented ways. But much of the fiercely private businessman’s life was obfuscated by rumor and legend, and a full picture of the man and his astounding legacy has not emerged."
