Do you really think Steve Jobs, a man obsessed with his legacy, would authorize a hatchet job?

If you actually read the book, you would have caught the part where Steve Jobs never got to see or approve the final copy, on purpose.

Steve Jobs was obsessed with his mainstream legacy, not the poorly informed opinions of a bunch of narrow-minded tech news enthusiasts. His mainstream legacy hasn't changed because of this book.

i'm only on chapter 34, but i'm not enough of an old timer to comment on historical accuracy.
It's not often that people get to pick who writes their biography, I think it's very possible that Jobs picked the wrong guy.
