Since I've written so much about this topic now and gotten carried away I will say that for someone new to the field of Steve Jobs Studies, the best introductory sources are the Isaacson biography and Pirates of Silicon Valley (movie) in my opinion. In fact I could order them like iTunes does for genres of music: Essentials: Books: Steve Jobs (Isaacson), General Apple Narratives Movies: Pirates of Silicon Valley, JOBS (Kutcher movie - haven't seen) Next Steps: Books: The Second Coming of Steve Jobs (Deutschman), From Pepsi to Apple (Sculley), iWoz (Wozniak) Movies: Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview; Famous Keynote Moments Deep Cuts: Books: My 500 Days at Apple (Amelio), A Regular Guy (Simpson), The Bite in the Apple (Brennan) Movies: 1984 Mac Introduction, 1985 NeXT Brainstorming Documentary, NeXT Videos, Other Long Form Interviews, 1997 MacWorld Fireside Chat, More Obscure Keynotes In the field of Steve Jobs Studies we're so lucky to have several pivotal figures write books (Simpson, Brennan, Wozniak, Sculley) but for the genre to really shine we still need a more comprehensive professional narrative. It's time someone wrote a purely business book set from 1976 through 2011 that didn't get sidetracked on outside-of-work personal issues. It would probably need to be about 1000 pages!
