You can't go two pages in that book without running across Stross editorializing (negatively) about Jobs' personality or intelligence.
Oh, please. Stross' book has sources to back his "editorializing" -- and let's face it: unless you've got a Lithium Lick in your bedroom, you're going to have to admit that Steve Jobs' management of NeXT was an exercise in Greek-tragedy-scale hubris. (The story of how Steve himself managed to sabotage a port of QuarkXpress to NeXT is particularly enlightening/jaw-dropping.)
Fault Stross for his technical errors, which are numerous (and already well-documented here). But, as the saying goes, rarely should you attribute to malice what ignorance will just as easily explain.
