About the book: Steve Jobs life story is told in this graphic biography. He grew up in what is now Silicon Valley, California. From an early age Steve enjoyed tinkering and exploring the way materials work. He was not a conventional learner. School was boring and not challenging. He preferred to do nontraditional learning on his own terms at home. He built the first Apple computer in 1976, and continued to want to make a better product over the next 3 decades. He had business partners throughout his life, they did not always see the same vision. Steve always stayed true to his vision (or followed his intuition) even if it was not the best business decision. Steve Jobs started the following companies - Apple, Next, and Pixar. He died of cancer in 2011. The last products from this visionaries imagination have changed the way we interact with the word: the iPhone and the iPad.
