Very in-depth biography of a genius mind from Isaacson. Steve was a simple man but he revolutionized modern tech with astonishing devices. He brought Apple out of certain bankruptcy and made it the most valuable company in the world. Book covers his both personal life and business strategies. Very inspirational.
