| quote = In the early summer of 2004, I got a phone call from [[Steve Jobs]]. [...] It turned out that he wanted me to write a biography of him. [...] I had known him since 1984, [...] We stayed in touch, even after he was ousted from Apple. [...] When my [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]] biography came out, he [...] pulled me aside to suggest, again, that he would make a good subject. [...] in 2009 his wife, Laurene Powell, said bluntly. "If you're ever going to do a book on Steve, you'd better do it now." He had just taken a second medical leave. [...] I hadn't known he was sick. [...] I decided then to write this book. [...] I knew that I would have to interview scores of people he had fired, abused, abandoned, or otherwise infuriated, [...] But after a couple of months, he began encouraging people to talk to me, even foes and former girlfriends. [...] Nor did he try to put anything off-limits. [...] His wife also [...] In fact she strongly encouraged me to be honest about his failings as well as his strengths.
