Critiques
Steve Jobs par Walter Isaacson
Une biographie très bien écrite sur un homme exceptionnel, à la fois génie visionnaire et pourtant antipathique. Mon avis en détail sur mon blog
Walter Isaacson a rencontré l'entourage de Steve Jobs pour mieux cerner ce personnage. Il dévoile sa vie pour expliquer son œuvre et sa pensée. Le dépassement des étapes de sa vie personnelle ont forgé ce visionnaire et innovateur incontournable de notre époque.
En s'appuyant sur un certain nombre d'entretiens et d'interviews de ses proches, l'auteur retrace la vie de Steve Jobs, le fondateur de la société Apple. Il y décrit la personnalité d'un génie qui a su révolutionner le monde des nouvelles technologies.
