He knew that the best way to create value in 21st century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Jobs cooperated with the author, he asked for no control over what was written. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDriven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSteve Jobs\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis the inspiration for the movie of the same name starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crosswordbooks.uae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42137636110411,"sku":"BK0006815","price":22.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/4877\/3707\/files\/9781982176860.webp?v=1779775022"},{"product_id":"the-innovators","title":"The Innovators","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Innovators\u003c\/b\u003e is a sweeping history by Walter Isaacson about the people who created the computer and the Internet.
