Steve Jobs: A Biography
kia ora
while holidaying in the Caribbean, I had a chance to read something that I consider to be non-academic. The book was Steve Jobs: A Biography by Walter Isaacson. I initially read the book for inspiration, as he was the main figurehead, visionary and initiator behind Apple/MacIntosh. However, what I got from this book is a couple of things: Simplicity is Sophistication and the ability to weave two worldviews, between artists and technology. The latter is about bringing two worldviews together to create a mechanism that would be useful to the world. This book to me was awesome, great, insightful and powerful. If you are looking to read beyond our normal academic sphere, I would recommend this book. Taima
