Jony Ive

An adulating biography of Apple s left-brained wunderkind, whose work continues to revolutionize modern technology.   Kirkus Reviews

In 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)
