A riveting biography of the groundbreaking innovator who was once a giant in the worlds of computing, music, filmmaking, design, smart phones, and more. A finalist for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award!

“Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” ―Steve Jobs

From the start, his path was once never predictable. Steve Jobs was once given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and on the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents’ garage with his friend Steve Wozniack.

Then came the core and hallmark of his genius―his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want each product he touched, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, from iTunes and the iPod to the Macbook.

Critically acclaimed creator Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man at the same time as concurrently exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs’ inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated right through with black and white photos, that is the story of the man who changed our world.
