Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

Steve Jobs, one of the most influential and admired corporate leaders of modern times has had his story told numerous times since it's surprising death on October 5th, 2011. Walter Isaacson wrote the authorized biography that was optioned for a film days after Steve Jobs passing (and the book release only weeks after that). Passing between movie studios, the film finally released in 2015 to mediocre ticket sales but strong critical praise.

BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS, because it's only NOW that the Literate Cinephiles weigh in!

Character Cheat Sheet!

• Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs)
• Kate Winslet (Joanna Hoffman)
• Seth Rogan (Steve Wozniak)
• Jeff Daniels (John Sculley)
• Michael Stuhlbarg (Andy Hertzfeld)
• Katherine Waterston (Chrisann Brennan)

Show Notes

• Walter Isaacson's take on Sorkin's script for Steve Jobs
• Walt Mossberg's (tech journalist who knew Jobs well) review of the Steve Jobs movie (that Jeff referenced)
