I was wondering if this book was worth reading, as I prefer to read biographies. Kind of surprised that the book came out almost immediately after his passing!

Heard a lot about him being quite a ruthless guy but from looking at the products he helped create, it's not that surprising at all. A lot of top businessmen and geniuses (not comparing the two in any way, but some are!), know what they want a lot of the time and are extremely committed to get it even if it means being mean and at times selfish (heard a lot about how he missed on a lot of his children's upbringing). But like some of you have said, that's how these industries work and if you want sucess, you usually have to sacrifice a lot of things.

Just a question for those that have read it. Is this quite a techie book? Or is this more about his life/career? Wasn't too sure what aspect of his life would be focused on.
