Criticism and ban
In an article for the San Francisco Chronicle, Alan Deutschman criticizes iCon, pointing out the similarity of the book's content to his own previous biography of Steve Jobs, The Second Coming of Steve Jobs [1]. In addition, Steve Jobs, who was not included in the creation of the book, banned all books from the publisher of iCon John Wiley & Sons in Apple Retail Stores for publishing the unauthorized biography [2].
