Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
4.0
Coming off of reading Metaxas' Bonhoeffer biography, I thought this was very well written. Some will be disappointed by the lack of coverage of Jobs' inner life, but there are enough stories to get a pretty full picture. (Spoiler: Jobs was a real a**hole)
The most difficult thing to read about was the way he threw himself into work after his cancer diagnosis and his late-life obsession with his legacy and building a company that would last. Maybe it's just where I am, but it's depressing to read about people trying to extend their influence beyond the grave.
