Book Description:
from Amazon.com
From the acclaimed Vanity Fair
and GQ journalist--an unprecedented, in-depth portrait
of the man whose return to Apple precipitated one of
the biggest turnarounds in business
history.
From the emergence of Apple
Computer in the late 1970s and early 1980s to its
current resurgence, charismatic leader Steve Jobs has
captivated the public. Both revered and reviled for
his dictatorial manner and stunning successes, Jobs
has transcended his legend in Silicon Valley to take
on some of the heaviest hitters in Hollywood. Now, in
The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, Alan Deutschman
presents the most revealing portrait yet of this
fascinating, complex character--an in-depth look at
the many layers of Steve Jobs, a man who is at turns a
brilliant cult figure and an abusive, egomaniacal
kid.
This story begins back in 1985
when Jobs was exiled from Apple, and then it goes on
to chronicle the rise and fall of his own company,
NeXT; the enormous success of Jobs's film animation
studio, Pixar; and finally his triumphant return to
Apple in the late 1990s, with Jobs taking the title of
CEO in January 2000. Displaying an uncanny skill at
the negotiation table and an intuitive sense of
brilliant design that could capture the public's
fascination with products like the iMac, along with a
celebrity's ability to command the spotlight, Jobs has
been able to catapult himself to the top of the
Silicon Valley and Hollywood
establishments.
Based on interviews with scores
of people--rivals, colleagues, friends--who have
worked with Jobs over the years, The Second Coming of
Steve Jobs gets under the hood of this extraordinarily
complex man: how and why he almost gave up on his
career; the details of his negotiations with Disney's
Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner, and of the
culture clash between Silicon Valley and Hollywood;
his methods of leadership, management, creativity, and
innovation; his friendship and rivalry with Bill
Gates--and much more. In an unsentimental and powerful
voice, Deutschman reveals a man who suffered his
midlife crisis at thirty, compressing it into just
three months; struggled between self-imposed exile and
the allure of public life; and became the baby boomer
icon who was constantly blurring the lines between
businessman, rock star, and beatnik.
The Second Coming of Steve Jobs
is a compelling look at an individual who has changed
the face of technology and entertainment for the
twenty-first century. This candid account of Steve
Jobs's tumultuous and provocative career will answer
the many questions left unanswered by this incredibly
private character who has come to represent the
Silicon Valley American dream.
