Although the book Becoming Steve Jobs is going to be officially launched tomorrow, in Thailand it has already appeared in the first images, those there getting a copy of it as easily as they get iPhones or iPad tablets before the launch, the biography of Steve Jobs seems to attract quite a lot interest from some. Considering that she is supported by Apple, another journalist, with many sources inside Apple and with a close relationship with Steve Jobs, supports her information and again criticizes the first authorized biography of Steve Jobs published by Walter Isaacson.
The journalist claims that many people from the management of Apple criticized that biography considering that it tarnishes the image of the former CEO, but this thing il we already knew from the interviews given by Tim Cook and some senior vice presidents of the American company. The journalist claims, however, that Tim Cook and the former vice president of the PR division at Apple considered that Steve Jobs must remain in the world's memory in a much better light, agreeing after 18 months of insistence by the authors to give interviews for the book , saying how they saw Steve Jobs.
Judging from the quotes from the interviews its members gave the authors, they very much had the Isaacson book in mind when offering up anecdotes about Jobs. In my view, Cook's dismissal of Isaacson's book as just a sloppy rehash is somewhat over the top. I came to Isaacson's book with a lot of knowledge about Steve Jobs, yet I learned many new details from over 40 interviews Jobs gave to Isaacson, as well as from some interviews Isaacson won because Jobs prevailed on people to cooperate with the book. No matter what one thinks of Isaacson's book, it is absolutely permeated, as is appropriate, with the voice of its subject.
Moreover, he claims that the entire chapter dedicated to the presentation of the weak points of the former CEO has the role of balancing the good and bad done by him over time in order to present to the whole world a complete picture of the one who brought so much of many revolutionary products on the market. The book Becoming Steve Jobs will be available for purchase from iTunes starting tomorrow, but today you can read the prologue and the first chapter for free, and in this article I explained where you can get them and how.
