Steve Jobs - den fremragende utvikleren, den maniske perfeksjonisten og et ikon for vår tid. Høsten 2011 etterlot han seg en formidabel arv: Apple, selskapet han hadde bygget opp over fire tiår, var ikke bare markedsledende, men definerte også vår egen tid.

Vi kjenner ham som den kompromissløse leverandøren av produkter der designet og funksjonen er like viktige. Han revolusjonerte våre medievaner. Han fikk dataen inn i hjemmet. Han endret musikkbransjen gjennom iPoden og forvandlet mobiltelefonen til å bli et uunnværlig hverdagsredskap og morsomt leketøy på en og samme tid.

Men hvem var han?

For første gang har den ellers så privat beskjedne Jobs fortalt helt ufiltrert. Over flere år og frem til sin død, og gjennom mer enn førti intervjuer, har han hatt åpenhjertige samtaler med forfatteren og historikeren Walter Isaacson om sin oppvekst, sitt privatliv og sin karriere. Jobs har ikke lagt føringer for forfatteren, og denne boken er et av ytterst få prosjekter Jobs har deltatt i, der han ikke har hatt kontroll over sluttresultatet.

Biografien om Steve Jobs handler om pågangsmot og viljestyrke, om arroganse og vennlighet, om utskjellinger, svik og visjoner - og en urokkelig tro på en idé: å lage verdens beste produkt, uansett kostnad.

He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.  Although 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. He himself spoke candidly about the people he worked with and competed against.  His friends, foes, and colleagues offer 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.

Autorisert biografi om Steve Jobs utgis i høst



Apple-gründer Steve Jobs døde 5. oktober. Snart kommer den autoriserte biografien om en av verdens største oppfinnere og innovatører.



De siste månedene brukte Jobs på å gjennomføre en rekke intervjuer med forfatter Walter Isaacson. Samtalene danner nå grunnlaget for en helt unik fortelling - den ufiltrerte historien om Steve Jobs' liv. Biografien vil avsløre mange nye og ukjente sider ved Jobs' liv og virke, og den internasjonale lanseringen av boken regnes som en av de mest betydelige på lang tid. Boken er skrevet av tidligere TIME-redaktør Walter Isaacson, som før dette har biografert en annen omfattende størrelse, Albert Einstein.



"Han forandret våre liv og klarte å oppnå noe som de aller færreste gjør; han forandret måten hver enkelt av oss ser verden på." Slik ordla president Barack Obama seg i en tale kort tid etter at dødsfallet ble kjent.



Arbeidet med den norske utgaven har vært i gang i flere måneder, og har vært underlagt strenge sikkerhetstiltak for å ivareta konfidensialitet i forhold til bokens innhold.



"Steve Jobs var ikke bare en av verdens fremste innovatører. Han satte mange av premissene for våre medievaner. Å kunne legge frem den ufiltrerte fortellingen om et så ekstraordinært liv, er uhyre spennende og et privilegium for oss," sier forlagssjef for sakprosa i Cappelen Damm, Ida Berntsen.
