Haunted Empire ^{2nd Ed.}

Former Wall Street Journal technology reporter Yukari Iwatani Kane delves deep inside Apple since Steve Job's death, revealing the tensions and challenges CEO Tim Cook and his team face as they try to sustain Job's vision and keep the company moving forward.

Based on over two hundred interviews with current and former executives, business partners, Apple watchers and others, Haunted Empire is an illuminating portrait of Apple today that offers clues to its future. With nuanced insights and colourful details that only a seasoned journalist could glean, Kane goes beyond the myths and headlines.

Hard-hitting, yet fair, Haunted Empire reveals the perils and opportunities an iconic company faces when it loses its visionary leader.

• Epilogue

A pretty meaningless book, written by a Steve Jobs fan-boy. Validation of sources quoted in the book is not the best either.

There are better ways to kill 2 hours than read this.
