Great read, especially for those that grew up around tech through the 80s/90s. Really enjoyed this one.

Does it have DRM so you can read it only on Apple devices? If not then this ebook is fake Stick Out Tongue

The only thing you need to do is watch the 1999 classic "Pirates of Silicon Valley"

I did read this book several times. Got hard copy and audio book. Worth it. It definitely add some motivation to you. I gave this book to my teen kid. BTW, the audiobook is widely available online.

Also iWoz (by Steve Wozniak) is another good read.

This, or the Jeff Bezos biography on iTunes? Smilie

I really liked a lot of Jobs's vision and theories, especially cross-disciplinary approaches to innovation. The world is so siloed today it feels like it's dying. Not a huge fan of his megalomaniacal employee attitudes…I only made it halfway through this due to time constraints, but good deal.

Steve must be rolling in his grave from the $3,500 VR headset. 💀

You probably have to be a "pirate" to get it now.

All I could find was this:

Can you link to a source of the audio book?

They did forget the subtitle though, "How a rich man died early of hubris"

You know what's not in the book?

The dumping of thousands of new Apple Lisa's in a Utah landfill because an authorized reseller was doing too well. They sent ex-marines/guards to enforce it!
