Now, just weeks after his death, you can read the book that bears his name and read about his upbringing, his entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. But the initial sadness in starting the book is soon replaced by something else, which is the intensity of the read--mirroring the intensity of Jobs’s focus and vision for his products.
