Making the iBio for Apple’s Genius

• Share full article

By Janet Maslin

• Oct. 21, 2011

After Steve Jobs anointed Walter Isaacson as his authorized biographer in 2009, he took Mr. Isaacson to see the Mountain View, Calif., house in which he had lived as a boy. He pointed out its “clean design” and “awesome little features.” He praised the developer, Joseph Eichler, who built more than 11,000 homes in California subdivisions, for making an affordable product on a mass-market scale. And he showed Mr. Isaacson the stockade fence built 50 years earlier by his father, Paul Jobs.

“He loved doing things right,” Mr. Jobs said. “He even cared about the look of the parts you couldn’t see.”

Mr. Jobs, the brilliant and protean creator whose inventions so utterly transformed the allure of technology, turned those childhood lessons into an all-purpose theory of intelligent design. He gave Mr. Isaacson a chance to play by the same rules. His story calls for a book that is clear, elegant and concise enough to qualify as an iBio. Mr. Isaacson’s “Steve Jobs” does its solid best to hit that target.

As a biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin , Mr. Isaacson knows how to explicate and celebrate genius: revered, long-dead genius. But he wrote “Steve Jobs” as its subject was mortally ill, and that is a more painful and delicate challenge. (He had access to members of the Jobs family at a difficult time.) Mr. Jobs promised not to look over Mr. Isaacson’s shoulder, and not to meddle with anything but the book’s cover. (Boy, does it look great.) And he expressed approval that the book would not be entirely flattering. But his legacy was at stake. And there were awkward questions to be asked. At the end of the volume, Mr. Jobs answers the question “What drove me?” by discussing himself in the past tense.

Mr. Isaacson treats “Steve Jobs” as the biography of record, which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subject’s death. Some of it is an essential Silicon Valley chronicle, compiling stories well known to tech aficionados but interesting to a broad audience. Some of it is already quaint. Mr. Jobs’s first job was at Atari, and it involved the game Pong. (“If you’re under 30, ask your parents,” Mr. Isaacson writes.) Some, like an account of the release of the iPad 2, is so recent that it is hard to appreciate yet, even if Mr. Isaacson says the device comes to life “like the face of a tickled baby.”

Publisher’s Description

Walter Isaacson’s “enthralling” ( The New Yorker ) worldwide bestselling biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.

Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the 21st century was to connect creativity with technology. 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. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide 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.

Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.

Steve Jobs  is the inspiration for the movie of the same name starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin.

Review of “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson

26 Friday Apr 2019

Posted by Steve in Business

≈ 2 Comments

Apple Computer , biographies , book reviews , Pulitzer Prize nominee , Steve Jobs , Walter Isaacson

Walter Isaacson’s “ Steve Jobs ” was published in the fall of 2011, three weeks after Jobs died at the age of 56. Isaacson is an author, journalist and former CEO of the Aspen Institute.  He has written biographies of Benjamin Franklin , Albert Einstein and Henry Kissinger (a book for which he earned a Pulitzer Prize nomination).  His most recent biography “ Leonardo da Vinci ” was published in 2017.

“Steve Jobs” is an authorized biography of its idiosyncratic and complex subject. Isaacson received significant assistance from Jobs during his final years of life (primarily in the form of interviews and access to family photographs) but also from more than 100 of his family, friends, colleagues and competitors. But, so far as I can tell, Jobs never reviewed the book in draft form and did not live to see it published.

Far from being a hagiographic tribute to Jobs, though, Isaacson’s biography strips bare the multifaceted founder of Apple Computer. And Jobs quickly proves a perfect biographical subject: he is at once brilliant, narcissistic, intuitive, controlling, idiosyncratic and, occasionally, astonishingly cruel. The author fully dissects his persona – genius and flaws – with considerable skill.

Isaacson’s literary style lacks the erudite sophistication exhibited by some biographies, but his narrative – which often feels oddly informal – is accessible by anyone. And rather than creating an intricate or complicated story, Isaacson glues together hundreds of snippets, anecdotes, quotes and short stories from Jobs’s life to form a fluid, engrossing narrative devoid of unnecessary details or tangents.

The 571 pages of text are almost continually entertaining, engaging and utterly revealing. There are countless enjoyable chapters and passages including many which explore his personal life. But the heart of the book follows Jobs through his eventful two-part career at Apple. Hardcore technology enthusiasts may find Isaacson’s understanding (or explanation) of technology issues too simplistic, but for most readers the level sophistication is appropriate.

Unfortunately, while Isaacson does an admirable job uncovering Job’s maddening contradictions, he is less tenacious about fully unraveling them. As a result, readers never quite know what to think of an allegedly anti-materialistic “hippie” who shunned furniture and frequently greeted clients while barefoot…but drove a Porsche and owned a yacht.

In addition, Isaacson’s writing can be uneven – it occasionally proves deeply insightful and analytical but, more often, seems a bit breezy and carefree. At its core, however, this biography is a fascinating and well-organized collection of titillating tales which reveals his eccentricities but can never quite diagnose what makes Jobs tick . It is possible, of course, that the forces which drove Jobs are simply impenetrable.

Overall, Walter Isaacson’s “Steve Jobs” proves an interesting and well-balanced review of the life of one of the greatest (and most inscrutable) entrepreneurs of this generation. While Isaacson’s biography cannot fully explain Jobs’s curious contradictions it is extremely successful in highlighting his faults, flaws and quirks as well as his extraordinary genius through a free-flowing and engaging narrative.

Overall rating: 4 stars

This was one of the easiest to follow biographies I have ever read, similar to reading a magazine profile (an extremely lengthy one). It was also, quite simply, an enjoyable book.

As you said, Isaacson did a very good job covering the complex and hypocritical character that was Steve Jobs. His writing brought the man alive in my head which is a key component in any biography (the ability to pull up the video clips mentioned also helps with this). The main drawback is that Isaacson was unable to adequately insert his own analysis of Jobs and Jobs’ evolution throughout the text. I think this would have been particularly relevant in the chapters featuring his time at NeXT where he overcame significant failures and flipped them into a triumphant return to Apple.

Overall, this is a fantastic book for anyone, especially those interested in the computer industry, Apple or Steve Jobs himself and I would highly recommend it. However, those who do heavier hitting material should know that this is a work geared towards the mass-market, which is probably the way Jobs would want it to be.

July 18, 2019 at 9:59 am

Couldn’t have said it better myself. And my experience with Isaacson’s bio of Jobs leaves me really looking forward to his biography of Einstein which is currently on my schedule for the Sept/Oct timeframe. And at some point thereafter I’ll be reading his biography of Ben Franklin…

Steve Jobs’ Life Story

Bio of late apple ceo is a larger-than-life portrait, warts and all.

When in 1996 Steve Jobs suspected DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg of stealing a movie idea from Jobs’s animation studio, Pixar, he got on the phone. Katzenberg offered to delay the production of his film, Antz , if Pixar agreed to delay the release of A Bug’s Life . When Jobs said he couldn’t, Katzenberg retorted: “Of course you can. You can move mountains. You taught me how!”

This image of Apple cofounder Jobs as the archetypal entrepreneur who makes things happen pervades much of Walter Isaacson’s biography of the computer mogul, now available in Spanish.

Steve Jobs traces the executive’s rapid ascent from cofounding Apple in 1976 with Steve Wozniak, their initial attempts at raising capital — in which one prospective investor turned them down after deciding they were “a couple of young, scruffy-looking guys” — and the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984.

The Mac was the first commercially successful personal computer with a mouse and a graphical user interface, which allowed users to drag their mouse and “click” on icons instead of typing commands in computer language. The story of the Mac’s creation sheds light on a darker side of Jobs’s perfectionism and innovation. While acknowledging that the idea of an affordable “screen and keyboard and computer all in one unit” was Apple employee Jef Raskin’s, Jobs decided to carry the initiative to fruition. It was, Isaacson writes, “inevitable that once Jobs set his sights on the Macintosh project, Raskin’s days were numbered.” Shortly afterward, Raskin left Apple.

Recounting these events, Isaacson repeatedly invokes a concept coined by Jobs’s associates to describe his ability to seemingly bend reality to his will. Known as Jobs’s “reality distortion field” — a geek term inspired by an episode of Star Trek — Isaacson tells how Jobs persuaded Corning Glass CEO Wendell Weeks to produce the specific type of glass he wanted for the iPhone despite the massive engineering challenges. “Get your mind around it,” Jobs told him. “You can do it.” And it was done.

But that “distortion field” didn’t always work in Jobs’s favor, as when he decided to postpone cancer surgery for nine months and try alternative medicine. “I really didn’t want them to open up my body, so I tried to see if a few other things would work,” he told Isaacson. By the time Jobs underwent the operation, doctors found that the pancreatic cancer that eventually cost him his life had metastasized.

Jobs’s death at age 56 generated a flurry of eulogies in the media. The innovator was hailed as the intellectual heir of inventors such as Thomas Edison. His loss as head of one of the 21st century’s quintessential manufacturing firms at a time when U.S. manufacturers are losing ground to global competitors seems to have left an unfillable chasm.

While careful not to fall into the realm of hagiography, Isaacson’s book echoes these sentiments, especially when discussing Jobs’s legacy in the final passages of the 630-page tome. “He was a genius,” Isaacson proclaims. Somewhat losing the restraint exhibited in the book thus far, Isaacson concludes that Jobs was “the greatest business executive of our era” and that his “saga” of innovating from scratch is the “Silicon Valley creation myth writ large.”

Eminently readable and thoroughly researched, Steve Jobs is the definitive biography of the computer tycoon — for now. It will probably take more time for the world to process the impact of Jobs and the products he designed and marketed. In the meantime, Isaacson has done an outstanding job of not only retelling Jobs’s story, but also capturing the milieu in which it unfolded.

Walter Isaacson Behind the Scenes: Writing His Steve Jobs Biography

While working on his biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson got a rare glimpse into the family life of a famously guarded man. What he found in the Jobs household astonished him. Plus, read the juiciest bits from the bio .

Left: Matthew Peyton / Getty Images

Walter Isaacson’s new biography of Steve Jobs is the smash-hit book of the year, but Isaacson is dismayed that so many journalists writing about the book ( myself included ) have latched onto the anecdotes about Jobs behaving like a monster to the people around him, without setting those anecdotes against the larger picture of everything that Jobs accomplished in his life.

“You have to judge people by the outcome,” says Isaacson, the former editor of Time magazine who has written bestselling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein and who is also president and CEO of the Aspen Institute, a nonprofit focused on education issues.

“In the end, Steve Jobs had four loving children who were all intensely loyal to him and a wife who was his best friend for 20 years. At work he ends up with a loyal professional team of A players at Apple who swear by him and stay there, as opposed to other companies that are always losing good talent. In the end he was an inspiring person. He inspired loyalty and real love. So you judge him by that.”

Also worth noting, Isaacson says, is that when it came to tough talk, Jobs could take as well as give. Jobs respected and even rewarded people who would argue with him. “In the early days at Apple they used to give an award to whoever stood up to Steve the best,” Isaacson says. “Those people often ended up getting promoted.”

Jobs died on Oct. 5 at the age of 56 after battling cancer for many years. Isaacson, who spent two years working on the book, has fond memories of dinners with the Jobs family in their home in Palo Alto, Calif., sitting around a big wooden table in the kitchen beside a brick pizza oven. He and Jobs went for walks around the neighborhood or sat in the garden behind the house, talking. They went for long drives, with Jobs showing Isaacson the sights of Silicon Valley, including the house in Los Altos where Jobs grew up, and where Apple began as a tiny project in the garage.

Isaacson was surprised by how modestly Jobs lived—“no security, no drivers, no entourage, no live-in help,” he says. The house where Jobs lived with his wife, Laurene , and their children has no hedges or high walls, no long driveway. Out back is a vegetable and flower garden with beehives from which the family collects their own honey. “It was a house that you would not turn your head to look at as you go down the street. It was built in the 1930s and has no lavish spaces, no McMansion qualities. It’s just a normal Palo Alto neighborhood home,” Isaacson says.

The Jobs household is a calm place, Isaacson says, where dinner conversations centered around things like daughter Eve’s horseback riding but sometimes veered into loftier topics like how to improve schools in America. One evening the family questioned Isaacson about Benjamin Franklin and the American Enlightenment.

Dinners were simple affairs with vegetables from the garden, and perhaps some fish, prepared by a cook who arrived in the afternoon to prepare meals. “What’s astonishing is how normal a family life it is. Steve just never went out socially. He was home every evening,” Isaacson says.

Much credit for the normal home life goes to Laurene, whom Isaacson describes as “sensible and smart and strong,” adding that “she can stand up to him but is also secure enough not to always have to be asserting herself. She combines the romanticism in Steve with the sort of sensible businesslike side of Steve. She could connect to both parts of him.”

One poignant moment in Isaacson’s book comes toward the end, when he describes how, as he was finishing the biography, Laurene told him that Erin, the middle daughter, wanted to be interviewed. Of the three children Jobs had with Laurene (he had an older daughter, Lisa, from a previous relationship), Erin was the one to whom Jobs had paid the least attention, Isaacson writes. She had just turned 16 when Isaacson was writing the book, and he had not asked to interview her, but since she wanted to talk, he agreed. What she wanted to tell him was that she understood why her father had sometimes overlooked her, and that she did not mind. “Sometimes I wish I had more of his attention,” she tells Isaacson, “but I know the work he’s doing is very important and I think it’s really cool, so I’m fine. I don’t really need more attention.”

Jobs and Isaacson first met in 1984, when Jobs was pitching the original Macintosh to editors at Time. “We knew each other on and off,” Isaacson says. “We weren’t pals.” Jobs first approached him about writing the biography in 2004. Isaacson demurred. Jobs asked again in 2009, and this time Laurene explained to Isaacson that Jobs’s health was worse than most people realized, and that “if you’re ever going to do a book on Steve, you’d better do it now.”

Jobs’s brusque side came through sometimes in his interviews with Isaacson. “He’d tell me I was full of shit,” Isaacson recalls. But Jobs was eager to tell his story, and over time the two men grew close. “It got deeper and more intimate the more we talked,” Isaacson says. “I liked him. I understood his passion, and I appreciated the fact that he was brutally honest with people. Steve told me, 'Yes, I’ve been tough on people, but brutal honesty is the price of being in the room, and people can be brutally honest back to me.’”

Jobs reckoned that being tough was the only way to keep Apple from suffering what he called a “bozo explosion”—meaning that if he tolerated mediocre people, they would hire others like themselves, and soon there would be a company filled with employees who weren’t very good. One of Jobs’s great strengths was his ability to spot talent and to inspire gifted people to do their best work.

Thanks to Jobs, Apple today boasts the strongest lineup of executive talent of any company in the history of the tech industry. “Steve’s goal was to create a company that would still be here generations from now,” Isaacson says. “He wanted to build a company that would last. He wanted to ingrain in people this belief in making products that are both artistic and well engineered.”

In August, a few days before he resigned, Jobs invited Isaacson over for a visit and asked him whether there would be parts of the book he would not like. Isaacson told him there would be. Jobs approved, saying that “it won’t seem like an in-house book.” Then he said something strange—that he would wait a year to read the book so that he wouldn’t get angry. “I thought, great, he’s going to be around for a while,” Isaacson says. “He thought there would still be more medical therapies that would let him jump to the next lily pad and keep ahead of the cancer. I finished the book thinking and hoping that he was going to read it next year and, frankly, yell at me for parts of it.”

Instead, six weeks later, Jobs was gone. Nevertheless, he did manage to get his story down on paper before he died. Isaacson’s 656-page book will not be the final word on Jobs, but it offers by far the fullest, richest, deepest accounting of Jobs that has been written so far, offering a rare glimpse into the personal life of a reclusive genius.

A history of the feud between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, whose love-hate relationship spurred the success of Microsoft and Apple

• Microsoft's Bill Gates and Apple's Steve Jobs never quite saw eye-to-eye.
• They went from cautious allies to bitter rivals to something almost approaching friends — sometimes, they were all three at the same time.
• It seems unlikely that Apple would be where it is today without Microsoft, or Microsoft without Apple.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were alternately allies and enemies throughout their tenures at the helm of Apple and Microsoft.

They'd gone back and forth complimenting and criticizing each other and each other's companies. Still, the successes of their companies were undeniably intertwined.

Here's a look at Jobs' and Gates' love-hate relationship over the years:

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs weren't always enemies.

Microsoft made software early on for the mega-popular Apple II PC, and Gates would routinely fly down to Cupertino, California, to see what Apple was working on, according to Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs.

In the early '80s, Jobs flew up to Washington to sell Gates on the possibility of making Microsoft software for the Apple Macintosh computer, with its revolutionary graphical user interface, according to the biography. Gates wasn't particularly impressed with what he saw as a limited platform — or Jobs' attitude.

"It was kind of a weird seduction visit where Steve was saying we don't really need you and we're doing this great thing, and it's under the cover. He's in his Steve Jobs sales mode, but kind of the sales mode that also says, 'I don't need you, but I might let you be involved,'" Gates later said .

Still, Gates appeared alongside Jobs in a 1983 video — a "Dating Game" riff — screened for Apple employees ahead of the Macintosh's launch.

In that video, Gates compliments the Mac , saying that it "really captures people's imagination."

Microsoft and Apple worked hand-in-hand for the first few years of the Macintosh.

At one point, Gates quipped that he had more people working on the Mac than Jobs did.

Their relationship, already kind of rocky, fell apart when Microsoft announced the first version of Windows in 1985. A furious Jobs accused Gates and Microsoft of ripping off the Macintosh.

But Gates didn't care — he knew that graphical interfaces would be big, and didn't think Apple had the exclusive rights to the idea, according to the biography.

Besides, Gates knew full well that Apple took the idea for the graphical interface from the Xerox PARC labs, a research institution they both admired.

When Jobs accused Gates of stealing the idea, he famously answered: "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

From there, the gloves were off between the two founders.

"They just ripped us off completely, because Gates has no shame," Jobs once said. To which Gates replied: "If he believes that, he really has entered into one of his own reality distortion fields."

Jobs thought that Gates was a stick-in-the-mud, far too focused on business. "He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger."

Gates, meanwhile, said Jobs was "fundamentally odd" and "weirdly flawed as a human being."

But Gates respected Jobs' knack for design.

"He really never knew much about technology, but he had an amazing instinct for what works," Gates said of Jobs.

In 1985, Steve Jobs resigned from Apple after a power shift to start his own computer company, NeXT. But even though Jobs was no longer working for Microsoft's biggest competitor, it didn't improve relations between the two.

Jobs  told Playboy in 1985 that if NeXT lost and Microsoft Windows won, "we are going to enter a computer Dark Ages for about 20 years."

Still, Windows was winning.

By the late '80s, it became clear that Microsoft was just about unstoppable on the PC.

Fast-forward to 1996, when Jobs appeared in a PBS documentary called "Triumph of the Nerds" and ripped into Gates and Microsoft, saying that they made "third-rate products."

Jobs went on in that same documentary: "The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products."

By the late '90s, Apple was in serious danger of going under. When then-Apple CEO Gil Amelio moved to buy NeXT in 1996 and bring Jobs back to Apple, Gates tried to talk him out of it, according to the biography.

Gates reportedly said this to Amelio: "I know his technology, it's nothing but a warmed-over UNIX, and you'll never be able to make it work on your machines. Don't you understand that Steve doesn't know anything about technology? He's just a super salesman. I can't believe you're making such a stupid decision."

But by 1997, Jobs was Apple's CEO. At his first Macworld keynote, he announced that he had accepted an investment from Microsoft to keep Apple afloat. Bill Gates appeared on a huge screen via satellite link. The audience booed.

Gates was envious of Jobs' ability to captivate the audience , according to a new book, "Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World." 

"In August 1997, as Steve Jobs strode around the stage at Apple's Macworld event in Boston, electrifying the audience with his forceful, clear, and magnetic delivery, Gates sat in one of Microsoft's television studios thousands of miles away in Seattle, watching his nemesis," the book reads.

"As he observed the loose-limbed ease with which Jobs spoke to the audience—the pauses at just the right moments, the speech dappled with humor, the sheer performative theater of it—Gates was filled with admiration and envy," the book continues. "He turned to a colleague and asked: 'How does he do that?' recalled a person who heard the exchange."

Gates clearly admired Jobs, even if they didn't always see eye-to-eye.

When Apple introduced iTunes , Gates sent an internal email to Microsoft that said, "Steve Jobs' ability to focus in on a few things that count, get people who get user interface right, and market things as revolutionary are amazing things."

When Apple introduced the iPod in 2001, Gates sent another email: "I think we need some plan to prove that, even though Jobs has us a bit flat footed again, we can move quick and both match and do stuff better."

Gates has also said before that he envied that Jobs was a "natural" when it came to commanding an audience.

"It was always fun to watch him rehearse because part of his genius was, when he would finally do it, he would make it look like he's just thinking it up right there," he told Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast. "I'll never achieve that level."

"He was such a wizard at over-motivating people — I was a minor wizard so I couldn't fall under his spells — but I could see him casting the spells, and then I would look at people and see them mesmerized," Gates continued in the podcast. "I was so jealous."

But Jobs was still pretty down on Microsoft, especially after Steve Ballmer took over from Bill Gates as CEO in 2000.

"They've clearly fallen from their dominance. They've become mostly irrelevant," Jobs once said. "I don't think anything will change at Microsoft as long as Ballmer is running it."

Conversely, Gates thought much of Apple's post-iPhone success came from Jobs himself, and not from Apple's "closed" philosophy.

"The integrated approach works well when Steve is at the helm. But it doesn't mean it will win many rounds in the future," Gates said.

They've taken swipes at products from each other's companies.

Gates didn't think much of the iPad .

"[I]t's not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with iPhone where I say, 'Oh my God, Microsoft didn't aim high enough,'" he said .

But Jobs didn't think much of the Windows ecosystem, either: "Of course, his fragmented model worked, but it didn't make really great products. It produced crappy products."

Jobs didn't hold back when Gates decided to quit Microsoft in 2006 to focus more on his foundation.

"Bill is basically unimaginative and has never invented anything, which is why I think he's more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology," Jobs said, according to the Isaacson biography.

Still, in a weird way, the two men clearly respected each other.

Appearing on stage together at the 2007 AllThingsD conference, Gates said , "I'd give a lot to have Steve's taste."

And Jobs once said, "I admire him for the company he built — it's impressive — and I enjoyed working with him. He's bright and actually has a good sense of humor."

After Jobs died , Gates said, "I respect Steve, we got to work together. We spurred each other on, even as competitors. None of [what he said] bothers me at all."

Ultimately, both men claim quite a legacy: Each built his company into one of the most valuable in the world.

Their competition continues: In recent months, Microsoft and Apple have taken turns leapfrogging each other for the title of the world's most valuable publicly traded company .

Elon Musk's Daughter Just Torched Walter Isaacson, His (and Steve Jobs's) Biographer

Vivian Jenna Wilson, the estranged daughter of Elon Musk, took to social media yesterday, and publicly accused author Walter Isaacson of drawing a "defamatory" portrait of her in his 2023 biography of her rocket-launching billionaire father.

The action took place on Meta's Threads — notably, a competitor launched after Musk's takeover of X-formerly-Twitter. In a fiery string of posts, Wilson called Isaacson out directly, writing that his (number one New York Times  bestseller) biography of her father, titled Elon Musk , "threw [her] to the wolves" in what was "one of the most humiliating experiences" of her life.

"Elon was your darling Tony Stark apartheid-American hero with a semi-tragic backstory who was saving the world and you were too fucking cowardly to write anything other than a sad excuse for a puff piece," Wilson lamented. "To further this goal, you portrayed me in a light that is genuinely defamatory and I’m not going to mince my words."

Wilson, who is transgender, is famously estranged from her father . In Elon Musk , Wilson's gender transition and later denouncement of her billionaire dad is raised as a driving force behind Musk's well-documented shift to the fringes of the political far-right. Musk himself re-upped this narrative in a recent interview with right-wing persona and suit-wearer Jordan Peterson, claiming during a transphobic tirade that Wilson's transition led him to vow to "destroy the woke mind virus" he believes is responsible for his daughter's gender identity. Wilson is also described in the biography as a "radical Marxist" by Musk's sister, Christiana Musk. But in a recent interview with NBC News — her first in the public eye — Wilson deflated this characterization, calling it inaccurate and explaining that she simply opposes wealth inequality. And now, per the 20-year-old's Threads posts, Wilson is digging even deeper into her portrayal in Elon Musk .

According to her, Isaacson's book diminished her experience to only a "villain backstory-origin" story for her father; what's more, she alleges that Isaacson — who claimed to NBC that he attempted to contact Wilson through family members — had "the information necessary to contact [her] directly" for her side of the story, and didn't.

"I was treated as a VILLAIN BACKSTORY-ORIGIN to excuse or explain away his behavior. As if my whole existence was nothing but an inconvenience to him." wrote Wilson. "My identity was trivialized, my reasons for separation were misconstrued, and I was treated as naïve; stupid, unfairly unforgiving and unreasonably moralistic."

"I was never asked, interviewed, or contacted to say anything for this poor excuse of pages you call a book," she continued. "I know that you claim that you 'reached out to me through family members' but I found out about this thing’s existence literally a MONTH before it was released. So either you are completely fucking incompetent at the most basic aspects of your 'job,' or you are weaponizing your own lack of effort to try to lift the blame off of yourself because you knew damn well what you were doing."

Wilson went as far as to assert that Isaacson "deliberately failed" to get in touch with her because he "knew the angle [he] was going for," and that her "testimony would've fucked up [his] pretty little portrayal of an irredeemable human being." She then noted that while she was repeatedly referred to as "Jenna" in the book, that isn't actually her first name.

"I go by Vivian by the way, not Jenna as the book implies," she wrote. "Jenna is what my friends from high school and my mom calls me. If you genuinely knew what you were talking about that's how you would've referred to me. It is genuinely impressive that you somehow managed to find a way to even fuck up my NAME."

We reached out to Isaacson, who's also written biographies about Steve Jobs and Henry Kissinger (among others), to ask about Wilson's allegations, but have yet to hear back. But Wilson certainly isn't the first person to critique Elon Musk , which drew scrutiny for its general lack of fact-checking and what some viewed as an air of access journalism .

"One way to keep Musk's myth intact," wrote The Verge' s Elizabeth Lopatto at the time of the book's release, "is simply not to check things out."

Product description

Book description, from the inside flap, from the back cover.

From the author of the bestselling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein, this is the exclusive biography of Apple's Steve Jobs, written with his full cooperation. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues - this book chronicles the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first-century was to connect creativity with technology, so he built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits and instead encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. "I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of, such as getting my girlfriend pregnant when I was twenty-three and the way I handled that," he said. "But I don't have any skeletons in my closet that can't be allowed out." Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. Likewise, his friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, demons, perfectionism, desires, artistry, devilry, and obsession for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were all interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is thus both instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.

Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson takes aim at father’s ‘f***ing joke’ of a biographer

Related video: Elon Musk live X interview with Trump fraught with tech issues

After taking aim at her estranged father Elon Musk following comments he made about her transgender identity to Jordan Peterson , Vivian Jenna Wilson has now turned her attention to Walter Isaacson, who published the 2023 biography on the Tesla founder and Twitter/X owner.

Isaacson, who has also penned works on the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and scientist Albert Einstein , repeatedly deadnames Wilson in the book while writing about her gender transition , claims her name is ‘Jenna’ and even includes a reference for the deadname in the index.

He also quotes Musk, who said disagreements between him and Vivian “became intense when she went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that everyone rich is evil”.

Well, Musk certainly didn’t do a good job of shifting that image for him personally, when the billionaire told Peterson last month that his “son” (who he also deadnames) was “dead” because they were “killed” by the “woke mind virus”.

Not exactly the nicest thing you could say about your child, Elon.

Wilson would go on to slam Musk’s remarks in that interview on Threads (Instagram’s text-based rival to Twitter/X), and she’s now using the platform again to criticise her father and Isaacson.

In a lengthy thread , she claims the writer “threw me to the wolves” in “one of the most humiliating experiences of my entire life”, by portraying her in a “genuinely defamatory” light.

“Elon was your darling Tony Stark apartheid-American hero with a semi-tragic backstory who was saving the world and you were too f***ing cowardly to write anything other than a sad excuse for a puff-piece.

“I was deadnamed, and misgendered for no conceivable reason and made to seem like I was just too stupid or too ‘communist’ or too brainwashed or too what-f***ing-ever to understand the 4D chess behind the reasons I was traumatised.

“My identity was trivialised, my reasons for separation were misconstrued, and I was treated as naïve; stupid, unfairly unforgiving and unreasonably moralistic. Worst of all, this was the section that was released early as part of the ‘promo’ because you knew it would catch headlines as part of this culture war bull****. You knew that conservatives and ‘reactionaries’ would take this and run as far as they could with it to get clicks, or to smear my name for their own self interests.”

Wilson adds she was treated as a “villain backstory-origin” in the book to “excuse or explain away” Musk’s behaviour, and while she was “content” to be Isaacson’s “queer villain”, she is ‘haunted’ by the fact the biography “may have been used as justification by parents to not let their trans child obtain potentially life-saving medical treatment”.

Wilson goes on to write that she was never approached to say anything for the book, and suggests Isaacson is either “completely f***ing incompetent at the most basic aspects of your ‘job’” or is “weaponising [his] own lack of effort to try to lift the blame off of yourself because you knew damn well what you were doing”.

“I know for a goddamn f***ing fact that you had the information necessary to contact me directly and you didn’t. It’s not exactly neuroscience when all you had to do was ask for my f***ing phone number. Therefore, this 'omg we like totally tried….' act isn’t gonna work. You deliberately failed because you knew the angle you were going for, and that my testimony would’ve f***ed up your pretty little portrayal of an irredeemable human being.

“I’ve been waiting on talking about this subject because it genuinely hurts so much to remember. That memory of sobbing my eyes out in a dormitory worrying that I didn’t have a future because of the damage this thing did to my reputation will forever stay with me.

“You, your editors, and your publisher are a f***ing joke for letting this thing be released into the public. I had to see posters of this thing for MONTHS afterwards.”

Wilson also pointed out that she goes by Vivian and not Jenna, and called for people not to send hate to Isaacson because she doesn’t “think that reflects well on anyone”.

Nevertheless, a number of Twitter/X users have made Isaacson aware of the accusations under his most recent tweet on Sunday:

Neither Isaacson or Musk have commented publicly on Wilson’s latest remarks.

Micro Information

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson is a comprehensive biography of Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc. The book provides an in-depth look at Jobs’ life, from his early years and founding Apple to his struggles, successes, and his eventual death in 2011. Here’s a summary of the key points:

Early Life and Founding Apple

• Birth and Adoption: Steve Jobs was born in 1955 and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. His biological parents were graduate students who gave him up for adoption due to their circumstances.
• College Dropout: Jobs attended Reed College but dropped out after one semester. He continued to attend classes unofficially, exploring interests like calligraphy, which later influenced Apple’s typography.
• Apple’s Founding: Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 with Steve Wozniak in his parents’ garage. They created the Apple I, followed by the Apple II, which became a huge success and revolutionized the personal computer industry.

The Rise and Fall at Apple

• Macintosh: Jobs played a key role in the development of the Macintosh, which was launched in 1984. The Mac was notable for its graphical user interface, which set it apart from other computers at the time.
• Power Struggle: Jobs’ demanding personality led to conflicts within Apple, particularly with the board and then-CEO John Sculley. This resulted in Jobs being forced out of the company he co-founded in 1985.

NeXT, Pixar, and Return to Apple

• NeXT: After leaving Apple, Jobs founded NeXT, a computer platform development company that focused on higher education and business markets. Although it wasn’t commercially successful, NeXT technology played a crucial role in the development of the World Wide Web.
• Pixar: Jobs bought The Graphics Group, which later became Pixar, from Lucasfilm in 1986. Pixar revolutionized the animation industry with the release of Toy Story in 1995, becoming a highly successful company and eventually merging with Disney.
• Return to Apple: Apple bought NeXT in 1996, bringing Jobs back to the company. He became the CEO of Apple in 1997, leading a remarkable turnaround with innovative products like the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

Innovation and Leadership Style

• Visionary Products: Jobs was known for his focus on design, simplicity, and creating products that consumers didn’t know they needed until they saw them. This led to the creation of groundbreaking products that changed industries.
• Management Style: Jobs was a perfectionist with a notoriously tough management style. He was demanding, sometimes harsh, and had a reality distortion field, where he would push people to achieve seemingly impossible goals. While this made him a polarizing figure, it also drove his teams to achieve extraordinary results.

Legacy and Final Years

• Health Struggles: Jobs battled with pancreatic cancer starting in 2003. He underwent several treatments and surgeries but remained actively involved in Apple’s operations.
• Final Contributions: Despite his illness, Jobs continued to work until shortly before his death. He was instrumental in launching the iPhone 4, iPad, and setting the direction for Apple’s future products.
• Death and Legacy: Steve Jobs passed away in October 2011. His legacy is one of innovation, creativity, and the transformation of multiple industries, including computing, music, telecommunications, and entertainment.

Themes and Reflections

• Innovation and Perfectionism: The book highlights how Jobs’ obsession with perfection and his drive for innovation led to both his successes and his challenges.
• Work and Personal Life: Isaacson explores the impact of Jobs’ work ethic on his personal life, including his relationships with his family and colleagues.
• Complex Personality: Jobs is portrayed as a complex individual, with both admirable qualities and significant flaws, making him one of the most fascinating figures of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The biography offers a balanced perspective on Steve Jobs, showing him as a visionary leader who profoundly influenced technology and culture, while also acknowledging his often difficult personality.

Ohio Air Force vet, brother sentenced to 4 months in 'notorious' Dubai prison after yacht drinking incident

T wo Ohio brothers, one an Air Force veteran, were sentenced to spend four months in a Dubai prison after an incident involving drinking on a yacht in June, a crime in the United Arab Emirates.

Radha Stirling, CEO of human rights organization Detained in Dubai and an advocate for Joseph and Joshua Lopez, alleges the brothers were drugged and robbed on the same night as the drinking that landed them in jail, and they are calling on U.S. lawmakers, including Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance , for help. The drugging allegations have yet to be officially confirmed.

"Sen. Vance’s office has been in constant communication with the State Department, the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in the United States and the constituents’ family," Vance spokesperson Parker Magid told Fox News Digital. "Sen. Vance is monitoring the as-yet-unresolved legal proceedings carefully."

Stirling said the Lopez brothers are appealing their sentence, alleging they were "targeted by scammers while on vacation in Dubai."

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO…AMERICANS DETAINED IN RUSSIA?

"While local criminals target tourists with what appears to be the support of law enforcement, Dubai is far from the ‘safe tourist destination’ it’s marketed as," Stirling said.

The State Department told Fox News Digital in a statement it is aware of the Lopez brothers' recent arrests.

"We take our role in assisting U.S. citizens abroad seriously and are monitoring the situation," a spokesperson said. "Due to privacy and other considerations, we have no further comment at this time. U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the foreign countries they visit or reside in, even when those laws differ from U.S. law."

Neither the UAE Embassy nor the UAE tourist police responded to inquiries from Fox News Digital.

The State Department has a Level 2 travel advisory listed for the UAE due to threats of terrorism. The State Department's website for the UAE notes that alcohol is "very limited" in certain private areas, and "[p]ublic drunkenness and driving under the influence, regardless of one’s blood alcohol content level, are considered very serious offenses."

"Persons arrested on alcohol-related offenses are regularly detained for many days as they await a court hearing. Penalties may include hefty jail sentences, substantial fines and, for Muslims (even those holding U.S. citizenship), lashings," the website states.

The State Department also notes the country's "strict" laws on drugs, public decency, photography, social media usage and LGBTQ-related activities or preferences.

Stirling said if the brothers' appeal is unsuccessful, Joseph, a veteran and 24-year-old father, and Joshua "face months in Dubai jails notorious for human rights abuses."

"Visitors are flocking into Dubai and facing the most ridiculous charges for alleged crimes they haven’t even committed. Last year, we saw Tierra Allen targeted by a rental car company, Elizabeth de las Santos targeted by an immigration officer and Peter Clark detained for residual hashish found in his blood that he’d legally smoked in Las Vegas weeks before flying," Stirling said.

She is pressing the United States to "increase travel warnings" for Americans going to Dubai.

"Not only will they be robbed and extorted, but they’ll usually end up in prison too," she said.

Seven bodies have now been recovered from the wreckage. News reporter @samuelosborne93 Friday 23 August 2024 12:24, UK Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Seven bodies have been found after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily. Twenty-two people were on board the vessel named Bayesian when it got into difficulty in the early hours of Monday, with 15 people rescued. Here's what we know about the sinking of the luxury vessel so far. Follow latest updates on the superyacht sinking What might have caused the sinking? The British-flagged luxury vessel, named Bayesian, capsized at around 4.30am local time on Monday morning off Palermo, according to ship-tracking site Marine Traffic. It sank in as little as 60 seconds with 22 people on board, 12 passengers and a crew of 10, according to the Italian coastguard. Waterspouts, essentially tornados that form over water, were seen as powerful winds battered the area overnight, local media said. The yacht may have sunk faster with all the doors open due to the hot weather, Sailing Today magazine editor Sam Jefferson has said. "I imagine all the doors were open because it was hot, so there were enough hatches and doors open that it filled with water very quickly and sank like that," he said. Official pictures show air conditioning units in several of the rooms, however, which could counter the suggestion open windows caused the vessel to sink faster. The huge mast is also likely to have played a role, he added. What are waterspouts? Waterspouts typically occur during thunderstorms and can develop very rapidly, within minutes. Their spin generally reaches wind speeds between 75-200mph, but can reach as high as 300mph. They can travel at about 10-20mph typically but can reach greater speeds, making them difficult to avoid - especially in something as slow-moving as a yacht. Matthew Schanck, chair of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, called the reports of a tornado or waterspout "rare" and "quite alarming". "The vessel was at anchor in a recognised anchorage," Mr Schanck said. "Depending on wind direction and the state of the sea, this informs the captain whether it is a safe area to anchor or not. There was nothing that was too concerning, for my eye. All in all, the captain used the information they had to make a safe call." Who owns the yacht? The yacht belonged to the family of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch. He was confirmed to have died after rescuers found his body on Thursday. Mr Lynch was on holiday with his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, who is still missing, and his wife Angela Bacares, who was rescued. Mr Lynch, 59, was known as the " British Bill Gates " and has been in the headlines in recent months over a high-profile fraud case. In June, a US jury cleared him of all charges, which were related to the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard (HP). The yacht trip is believed to have been a celebration of the end of Mr Lynch's legal troubles. HP accused him of deliberately overstating the value of the company before it was acquired by the American tech giant. Mr Lynch was extradited to the US to face trial in May last year and spent 13 months under house arrest in San Francisco as he awaited trial on 17 charges of conspiracy and wire fraud brought by the US Department of Justice - which were later reduced to 15 charges. He always denied any wrongdoing and was acquitted. Read more: Lynch's co-defendant dies days before yacht sinking Who was on board when the boat sank? The passengers were largely British and American, with crew members were from New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada. Charlotte Golunski was among the Britons rescued. Her LinkedIn profile says she is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm Invoke Capital and has worked there since 2012. Speaking after the ordeal, Ms Golunski told Italian media that she lost her daughter Sofia for "two seconds" amid the "fury" of the sea but was able to retrieve her. She said she held the infant above the waves until the lifeboat was ready. "Many people screamed. Luckily the lifeboat inflated and 11 of us were able to get on board," she told ANSA. The girl's father James Emsley also survived, according to Sicily's civil protection agency. Also on board were Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley, his wife Judy Bloomer, a top US lawyer Chris Morvillo, who worked on Mr Lynch's criminal case, and his wife Neda Morvillo. Divers confirmed on Thursday that their bodies had been recovered. The yacht's captain James Cutfield survived, along with South African crew members Leah Randall and Katja Chicken. Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan chef who was working on the boat, was the first to be found dead, the Italian Coastguard confirmed to Sky News. During rescue efforts, divers saw "corpses through the portholes" of the wreck as they recovered the body of a man at a depth of 50m (164ft), according to Salvo Cocina, the head of the Civil Protection of Sicily. What do we know about the vessel? The Bayesian is owned by a company controlled by Mr Lynch's wife. It was known for its unusual 72.3m (246ft) single mast - one of the world's tallest made of aluminium - and shared its name with the statistical method Mr Lynch's Autonomy software was based on. It was built by Italian company Perini Navi in 2008 and last refitted in 2020. It was listed for rent for up to €195,000 (£166,000) a week, according to online charter sites. The luxury vessel , which was managed by yachting company Camper & Nicholsons, could accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites. It won a string of awards for its design, according to online specialist yacht sites. Mr Schanck, of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, said the vessel would have been equipped with "high standard" life-saving appliances and radio communications. He added the yacht would have met all international standards and UK Maritime Coastguard Agency regulations before its voyage. It was previously named Salute, or "health" in Italian, when it flew under a Dutch flag. Its minimalist interior featured light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions on charter sites.
