Novel Project: Steve Jobs

During this quarter of the year, I needed to read a non fiction book. I really liked biographies and autobiographies but I just didn't know who should I read about. I browsed through the library to find a book I was interested in. Until I found him laying on a book display. It was a biography of one of the genius's behind Apple inc. Steve Jobs. I thought it will be a very interesting book about a very intelligent person. Steve Jobs (Born in February 24, 1955 - Died October 5, 2011) was a famous inventor, designer, Billionaire, and CEO of his company Apple inc., NeXT inc., and Founder of Disney Pixar animated studios. He made a world a better place with his amazing ideas that a lot of people have and help them in there lives. The iPod lets people party to their favorite music and work out at the gym. The iMac, with their fast Internet access and hd memory. The iPad with the power of the Internet in the touch of your finger tips. And the iPhone, beautiful hd camera, reminders, easy access calling, messaging, and games. This book is not an autobiography but it explains him so well like he has been living with him, known him for such a long time, or he even might be him! The person who wrote this book was Walter Isaacson. He interviewed him quite a lot and was one of is good friends. I think he did a very good job describing who he is, what he does, and the difference he made in this world. He put a lot of good and interesting facts like, how the two Steve's meet (Steve Wozniak), the amazing designs, MobileMe and iCloud, Apple today, OS X features, the places he's been, and who supported them to make it how it is today. But who made all this happen? The type of person who only comes once in a lifetime. A true genius, Steve Jobs. This is a really well written book about this amazing person. There are a lot of interesting facts about him. For example, Steve Jobs was adopted, he was a school prankster, and he lived in Alto Palo, California. I recommend this book for people who are researching about famous people and stuff they don't know about them. I also recommend this book to people who are into technology and famous and really intelligent people. Even though he has past away, his intelligence still remains in our world. He has changed how things work and made a difference to make our world a better and more efficient way.
