2011 stirbt Steve Jobs. Alle sind sich einig, dass Apple ohne ihn dem Untergang geweiht ist. Jobs' Nachfolger Tim Cook halten viele für die falsche Wahl - zu wenig innovativ, zu wenig schillernd. Doch Cook beweist: Er ist der rechte Mann zur rechten Zeit. Unter seiner Leitung wird das iPhone das erfolgreichste Produkt aller Zeiten, das Dienstleistungs­geschäft wächst rasant und Apple steigt zum ersten Billionen-Dollar-Unternehmen der Welt auf. Leander Kahney legt nun die erste Biografie überhaupt zu Tim Cook vor. Wer ist der Mann, den viele für einen Langweiler halten, wirklich? Wie hat er Apple verändert und wo will er noch hin? Welchen Herausforderungen wird er sich in Zukunft stellen müssen? Und wird es ihm gelingen, Apple weiterhin an der Spitze zu halten?

Der Leser wird so auf eine Reise in das Herzstück von Apple mitgenommen und ist hautnah bei der Entstehung von iMac, iPhone und iPad dabei.

"An adulating biography of Apple's left-brained wunderkind, whose work continues to revolutionize modern technology.” —Kirkus ReviewsIn 1997, Steve Jobs discovered a scruffy British designer toiling away at Apple's headquarters, surrounded by hundreds of sketches and prototypes. Jony Ive's collaboration with Jobs would produce some of the world's most iconic technology products, including the iMac, iPod, iPad, and iPhone. Ive's work helped reverse Apple's long decline, overturned entire industries, and created a huge global fan base. Yet little is known about the shy, soft-spoken whiz whom Jobs referred to as his "spiritual partner.”Leander Kahney offers a detailed portrait of the English art school student with dyslexia who became the most acclaimed tech designer of his generation. Drawing on interviews with Ive's former colleagues and Apple insiders, Kahney "takes us inside the creation of these memorable objects.” (The Wall Street Journal)
