It should emphatically vindicate their deeply held faith in the man and his ideas. But even for those with a lesser opinion, Alan Deutschman offers an interesting and enlightening look at the crucial period from Jobs's unceremonious Apple exit through his triumphant return. Deutschman, a contributing editor at <I>Vanity Fair</I> magazine and longtime Silicon Valley correspondent, interviewed nearly 100 colleagues and friends to draw this portrait of a bewilderingly complex and notoriously private man--albeit one whose talents, personality traits, and idiosyncrasies have long been on public display. "He succeeded in becoming the Jackie Kennedy Onassis of business and technology," Deutschman writes, "a figure who was ubiquitous as a symbol of his times but little known as a human being." To change that, he looks into Jobs's ill-fated first post-Apple endeavor at the Next computer company, his return to undeniable respectability with Pixar and the two <I>Toy Story</I> movies, and finally, his ultimate absolution with a very successful reclamation of the Apple crown. It's a revealing account of a singular individual during a remarkable time. <I>--Howard Rothman</I> 55103 2000 The Second Coming of Steve Jobs total:102|5:23|4:36|3:36|2:7|1:0| 102 381 147 14 5 0 false false Sat Jan 10 11:44:11 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 11:45:06 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 14 09:48:48 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 09:52:00 -0700 2009 If you are a computer tech head, business owner or a creative person,
