2013 Nomination (not yet selected): 

A very complete look at Steve Jobs, warts and all. Readers of Isaacson's biography will find nothing new here but that is probably because they were looking at a lot of the same information (see Blumenthal's very complete bibliography). This is very readable with lots of insights into what went into the creation of some of the most popular tools that we all use. Ten to Fourteen.
