I know why books like Walter Isaacson’s “Steve Jobs” and Jacqueline McNish and Sean Silcoff’s “Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry” are written the way they are. They’re designed for mass market audiences (read: non-nerd audiences). But just once, I wish there was a more technical telling of these stories that actually spent the time to get the technical details right. John Siracusa famously argued a version of this point in November 2011 on his “Hypercritical” podcast episode 42, entitled “The Wrong Guy”. John argued that Isaacson wasn’t the right guy because he didn’t care about the details enough to get them right. I don’t know that it’s the same argument with the BlackBerry story, but the details are still too vague to satisfy my taste.
