Come on, Jobs was no god (and not even a Thomas Edison), but to say that he added nothing to modern society is disingenuous at best. But no amount of evidence is going to convince you otherwise. Anti-Apple zealots are just as bad as Apple fanboys.

QFT. Whether or you call him an innovator, an inventor, a god, a carnival hawker or a thief; the fact of the matter is that someone who is "not special" doesn't create a multimillion dollar company (Apple), turn another company into a multimillion dollar company (Pixar), and then return to the original company, which was in dire financial straits, and turn it into a billion dollar company.
If anyone else on these boards has been able to accomplish even one of these things, then you may cast the first stone.
That being said, I have no interest in reading his biography. I learned all I need to know about Steve Jobs from the segment 60 Minutes aired about him the weekend after he died.
