In the course of writing this book, I was able to mine an extensive array of material on Steve Jobs. In terms of news media, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Time magazine and Fortune magazine documented his career particularly usefully.
Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography (Little, Brown; 2011) was an invaluable source of insights, as was Woz’s own iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It (W. W. Norton & Company; 2007). Other titles in a selected bibliography include George Beahm’s I, Steve: Steve Jobs In His Own Words (Hardie Grant Books; 2011), Karen Blumenthal’s Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different (Bloomsbury Publishing; 2012) and Michael Moritz’s Return to the Little Kingdom (Duckworth Overlook; 2009).
Also, thanks to my two editors at Michael O’Mara, Mathew Clayton, who commissioned the title, and Silvia Crompton, who saw it through to completion. Thank you, too, as ever, to Rosie.
