Now that a movie about Jobs is coming out, I got interested in reading about his life. Do you have a book to recommend-? Thanks.

I’ve read that the Walter Isaacson one is very good.

Pirates of silicon valley is the only one I know about.

I thought Walter Isaacson’s biography was excellent. It was completed before Jobs’s death, though, so it doesn’t have that final chapter.

If there are more than one, I would read at least two, maybe three, since different authors see things in a different point of view.

Both the books already mentioned would be excellent. I’m in the middle of reading the Isaacson biography.

Pirates of Silicon Valley is really fascinating becAuse it deals with the early years of both Jobs and Gates and gives a lot of insight into the whole MS vs. Apple thing.
