iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business - Jeffrey S. Young, William L. Simon (2005)

A book on professional Steve Jobs. His personal life has been talked about but with minimal emphasis. More over this book is about technologies that Steve Jobs has put his hands on. How these technologies redefined the world. A book that emphasizes how the technology adoption and success is very different from the utility paradigm.

Overall an interesting book. Good to understand the importance of technology what sticks to make to next level and what does not. The coercive leadership style of Steve Jobs apparent from the book. After all Steve Jobs has been a turn around man for most of the industry he put his hands on.

Must read is all I can comment on the book.
