Isaacson is a great biographer and is (or maybe I should say “was”) one of my favourite non-fiction authors. I’ve read the Steve Jobs bio (the one I think I enjoyed the most) The Innovators, and a few others. As for the Elon Musk bio, it’s been sitting on my Kindle for months and I can’t seem to get around to it, in large part because of the impression that Isaacson became a Musk fanboy. Isaacson’s reversal of his published account of Musk turning off Starlink access during Ukraine’s attack on Crimea was absolutely shameful, and in my opinion greatly undermined his credibility as an impartial biographer.
FTR, my #1 top non-fiction writer is Erik Larson. The Devil in the White City is probably his most intricate and accomplished work, but I also loved In the Garden of Beasts, Isaac’s Storm, Dead Wake, and Thunderstruck.
