I knew very little about Jobs before this biography. After reading, I have to say that while he was a pretty sh*tty individual, he was a revolutionary genius and I agree with Issacson that he will go down in history with folks like Ford. As much as I disliked reading about his personality and actions, it is hard to not admire/be impressed with not only the brand and legacy he created, but the significant impact on technology and the future as we know it.
