Reseñas
Steve Jobs : la biografía por Walter Isaacson
Elche - Noviembre/2011
Best biography of Einstein. Cover both professional and personal issues full of details.
El autor va y vuelve en una estructura anómala. La vida de Steve no es la de un gran creador, un inventor, es la de un visionario que supo aglomerar capital y personas de gran capacidad, que fueron quienes crearon, dándoles una dirección. Es algo que se puede leer, pero sobran unas 200 páginas de libro.
