The hottest invitation during LegalTech New York wasn’t to a midnight bash in a chic Manhattan venue. It was a (relatively) small gathering at Thomson Reuters’ Times Square World Headquarters 30th floor conference room to listen to Walter Isaacson reminisce about Steven Jobs and tell us about the process of writing the authorized biography, Steve Jobs. Isaacson is CEO of the Aspen Institute, former chair and CEO of CNN, as well as past editor of Time magazine. He also is chair of the board of Teach for America, which recruits college graduates to teach in underserved communities. (And that’s just some of his accomplishments.)
While anyone but the most die-hard fan would agree that the Jobs bio would have benefited from a tighter edit (yes, we "get" that he didn’t have great hygiene), the book is an absolutely fascinating portrait with so many life lessons. And if you have ever felt confused about the different approaches to computing by Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp., Isaccson explains it with complete clarity. (Review: http://at.law.com/LTN1304b1.)
