A comprehensive study of 'The Maverick' and his work, Steve Jobs tracks the entrepreneur's journey from savvy salesman to world-changing innovator.

This is a stunning visual guide to the life and works of entrepreneur Steve Jobs. Easily one of the most influential innovators of the twenty-first century, Steve Jobs has fundamentally shaped the way in which we communicate and, even more broadly, live our lives.

In this information-packed graphic biography, Steve Jobs' remarkable talent and genius are explored through bold design and original graphics. Kevin Lynch explores Jobs' journey from savvy salesman, to his rivalry and market competition with Bill Gates, and his shift towards radical innovations in later life. This technological innovator led a fascinating, astounding and ultimately too short life, that irreversibly impacted how we communicate.

Steve Jobs is a visual celebration and comprehensive study of 'The Maverick' and his work; and a must-have for any fan of Apple products.
