To be very specific episode 42 and 43 of John Siracusa’s Hypercritical are about the book and Siracusas opinion of it.
Albeit there is a lot of nit picking — especially in the latter episode — his overall point is that Isaacson’s book did not use the opportunity of having access to Jobs and the people around him. Specifically he didn’t know the industry and — apparently from the book — bother to learn about it.
But relating to a bio on da Vinci? He doesn’t have exclusive access so the argument doesn’t transfer.

- MBCook 9y agoI loved Hypercritical. It didn’t occur to me that would be the podcast. Thanks. The asking the right questions thing doesn’t apply but the quality of research that he showed in his biography of Jobs makes me doubt the level of work/research in other biographies he writes.
