    Story
    Would you consider the audio edition of Crossing the Chasm to be better than the print version?

    The version of Crosssing The Chasm that I read was written 2 decades ago! It gives: A Great Technology Historical Perspective of the relentless march of technology. The book connects the entrepreneurs with the ideas, the start-up, the growth, the venture capital investment, the vulture capital investment, the transitional management challenges, and the distribution - channel challenges of starting a (technology) business. This is an excellent must read business book that I highly recommend.

    Based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

    Chris says: "Good Biography, Fine narrator"

    Story
    What did you love best about Steve Jobs?

    I lived this story from the sidelines. Actually I was on the Microsoft Windows side(line). What a forthright and fascinating depiction of Jobs, his foibles, his strengths, his weaknesses and accomplishments. I highly recommend the read.
