Review of 'Steve Jobs' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

this graphic novel tried to soften the blow for Jobs by portraying a lot of inner thought/dialogue that 1) is unprovable and undocumented, and 2) is likely untrue. Jobs was a narcistic bully that thought in unconventional ways and was a brilliant innovator (I don't think inventor applies to him since he often took existing technology and used it in better, and more beautiful ways) But I guess being an asshole is not a palatable truth for kids today. we want to inspire and motivate and imply that good guys come in first. but the Jeff Bezos and Sam Waltons of the world prove otherwise. they are just still alive, and still being dicks. maybe when they are dead, they'll be eulogized, and humanized, in the same fashion.
