In this deeply-researched book, you’ll find the most honest portrait of the real Steve Jobs. - Marc AndreessenThe book about Steve Jobs that the world deserves. Smart, accurate, informative, insightful and at times, utterly heartbreaking….Becoming Steve Jobs is going to be an essential reference for decades to come. - John Gruber, Daring FireballWhat makes their book important is that they contend - persuasively, I believe - that … [Jobs] was not the same man in his prime that he had been at the beginning of his career.
