Not sure on any books, but the film The Pirates of Silicon Valley is very good, I just recently watched it. It's about the history of Apple and Microsoft (+ Jobs & Gates) from the 70s up to '99. Definitely worth picking up a copy.

Apple Confidential is a great read, Andy Hertzfeld's Revolution in the valley (or the http://folklore.org website it's based on) is also worth a look if you're interested in some of the stories from the early years.

Hey,

Im more interested in something that follows Jobs. From the start of Apple, to him getting fired, to him coming back with Pixar and what Apple is and has become today.

So pretty much from when it began to today. Preferably following Jobs.

Thanks again.... I'll take a look at thos suggested.

Thanks!

-Ben
