The Second Coming of Steve Jobs

The title of this book, "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs," is a reference to the biblical prophecy of the return of Jesus Christ.

Deutschman compares Jobs to other great leaders in history, such as Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King, Jr. He argues that Jobs had a unique ability to inspire people and to create a sense of mission and purpose.
