A seasoned Silicon Valley watcher tells us why Steve Jobs remains one of our most important cultural icons Steve Jobs changed our world. In Why Steve Jobs Matters , Alan Deutschman explores the astonishing impact Jobs continues to have one year after his untimely death. From the creation of the earliest Apple computers to the latest iPhone, Jobs's creations forced seismic changes in the way we communicate, do business, seek out entertainment, and interact with others. His enduring influence as the patron saint of The Creative Class cuts even deeper: In his single-minded control of Apple, Jobs was an example of the successful entrepreneur tycoon who pushed many members of the Silicon Valley creative class to greater heights. Without his example, many people of his generation--inside of and outside of Silicon Valley--may not have been so driven. Alan Deutschman's thoughtful consideration of Jobs as a cultural and technological pioneer who, like others before him such as Thomas Edison, changed the way we live forever.
