Whether they've seen Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs
movie, read Walter Isaacson's biography, or just own an iPhone, this
graphic novel retelling of the Apple innovator's life will capture the
imaginations of the legions of readers who live and breathe the
technocentric world Jobs created.
Told through a combination of black-and-white illustrations and
handwritten text, this fast-paced and entertaining biography in graphic
format presents the story of the ultimate American entrepreneur, the man
who brought us Apple Computer, Pixar, Macs, iPods, iPhones, and more.
Jobs's remarkable life reads like a history of the personal technology
industry. He started Apple Computer in his parents' garage and
eventually became the tastemaker of a generation, creating products we
can't live without. Through it all, he was an overbearing and demanding
perfectionist, both impossible and inspiring. Capturing his unparalleled
brilliance, as well as his many demons, Jessie Hartland's engaging
biography illuminates the meteoric successes, devastating setbacks, and
myriad contradictions that make up the extraordinary life and legacy of
the insanely great Steve Jobs.
Here's the perfect book for any teen interested in STEM topics,
especially tech.
