[edit] Criticism
In an article for the San Francisco Chronicle, Alan Deutschman criticises iCon, pointing out the similarity of the book's content to his own previous biography of Steve Jobs, The Second Coming of Steve Jobs.[3]
In addition, Jobs, who was not included in the creation of the book, banned all publications from the publisher of iCon, John Wiley & Sons, in Apple retail stores for publishing the unauthorised biography.[4][5]
