Is pic related actually worth the read? I'm 6 chapters in and I'm about to give up.
It's been decently interesting, but so far Jobs is the most reprehensible, cringeworthy piece of shit I've ever read. He's not even a sophomore in college yet and the biography has both extolled him as a wunderkind genius (despite having accomplished nothing in his life so far to indicate this except for having an interest in engineering) and laid out a huge rap-sheet of absolutely despicable behavior (of which neither the biographer nor future Jobs seem to even hint at being regrettable).
I picked this up as a sort of modern history book/perspective into tech business politics. I knew that, being Jobs' biography, there was going to be a lot of dick sucking, but I was not prepared for such a belligerently unsupportable narrative. Does it get better? Is it actually worth it?

No.

Jobs is a vastly overrated businessman and 'inventor'. He was good at stealing credit for other people's ideas. That's about it.

He was a good administrator. That was his primary talent. It's not nothing, but his "genius" is overstated.

I really enjoyed the book. Riveting stuff, even though I think Jobs is overrated.
You obviously don't need to finish it but I did because I was having fun.
