Walter Isaacson could have written a different book, one less rambling, more focused. But this is the book we have, and it is invaluable. No one else has ever had the access that Isaacson was given. I was so often moved to laughter and to tears reading this account, and delighted to remember the key influences of the time: Dylan,Dr. Alan Kay, Stewart Brand, Ram Dass, LSD, et al. I was into all those things too, how come I didn't invent the Macintosh? Steve Jobs was one of a kind. Read this book!
