Well that just goes to show where my mind is because I just saw the title of this book today and thought- “you know Sandra Bullock did a good job in that movie. I don’t care what anyone else says.”
So there you have it. I blame late night TV.
Anyway, you can download All About Steve today to your Kindle, Ipad, computer, or smart phone for $1.99.
This is not actually a book based on the Sandra Bullock movie but rather an anthology of 17 classic stories about Steve Jobs spanning about 20 years.
Here is the description of this book:
Steve Jobs’ legacy is clear: The most innovative business leader of our time, the man FORTUNE named CEO of the Decade in 2009. Now from the pages of FORTUNE comes an anthology of 17 classic stories spanning the years 1983 to 2011 about the cultural icon who revolutionized computing, telephones, movies, music, retailing, and product design. The stories lay out in unparalleled detail the career of a man with relentless drive and a single underlying passion—to carry out his vision of how all of us would use technology. Writes managing editor Andy Serwer in the book’s foreward: “In the end he was proved right a billion times over, and his company Apple became one of the most successful enterprises on the planet.” All these stories are the product of deep reporting. In many cases FORTUNE’s writers spent hours interviewing Jobs and delving into his mind. The result is a singular journalistic collection, which will leave you with a comprehensive picture of Steve Jobs and Apple, a picture that is complex in the making yet simple in its triumph.
Steve Jobs was a remarkable man so if you want to check this book out just head over here. The $1.99 price is today only.
You can also get Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson for $14.99 right now. That book has been considered one of the best of 2011 and is a much more comprehensive look back at his life.
That cracked me up. For what it’s worth, I also enjoyed her performance in the movie.
