After months of IPad mania, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is set to take unveil the company's next edition of the company's prized smartphone today. Last month, Apple shot past Microsoft, the computer software giant, to become the world's most valuable technology company. The changing of the guard caps one of the most stunning turnarounds in business history for Apple, which had been given up for dead only a decade earlier, and Mr. Jobs.
In Return to the Little Kingdom: How Apple and Steve Jobs Changed the World, Michael Moritz revisits his classic work on the history of Apple. In 1984, The Little Kingdom: The Private Story of Apple Computer told the story of Apple’s first decade alongside the histories of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Now, completely revised and expanded, Return to the Little Kingdom is the definitive biography of Apple and its founders from the very beginning.
Moritz brings readers inside the childhood homes of Jobs and Steve Wozniak and records how they dropped out of college and founded Apple in 1976. He follows the fortunes of the company through the mid-1980s, and in new material, tracks the development of Apple to the present and offers an insider’s profile of Jobs, whose genius made Apple the powerhouse it is today.
Required reading for Apple fans and competitors alike, Return to the Little Kingdom is timely and thorough, and the only book that explains how Steve Jobs founded the company that changed our world.
Michael Moritz's Return to the Little Kingdom is included in the list of the "Six Apple Books You Really, Really Must Own: "Just published last week, this book has been heavily revised, being an updated version of the book (The Little Kingdom: The Private Story of Apple Computer) Moritz wrote 25-years ago. In conjunction with the others on this list the original title has been a tried and tested essential reference work that’s helped build and inform our understanding of the development of the computer company.
Why we like it? It’s factual, it lacks spin, and was written way back in 1984 by Moritz, then at Time Magazine. It does a great job explaining the origins and quirks of Apple's first decade, giving some clue as to how the company turned out the way it did. Later titles all cite this one, partly because of its accuracy and partially for the on the button job Moritz managed in capturing the essences of the personalities of the founders of the company and the challenges it faced. What do other people think? Andy Hertzfeld quite simply calls it, “One of the best books about Apple ever written”. We say, “buy this book”. - Johnny Evans, 9to5Mac
