Next was Jobs' baby and a way to get revenge on his former company Apple. However, his attempts to create the new computer for the educational market proved to be ill-fated. Meanwhile, his investment in Pixar, which he funded but paid very little attention to, ultimately made him a billionaire with the release of the smashing animated success of Toy Story and Pixar's initial public offering. Jobs eventually got his revenge by selling NeXT to Apple for a bloated price, rejoining the company, introducing the iMac, returning Apple to profitability, and reestablishing his position near the center of the computing universe. Despite appearing critical of Jobs as a person, Deutschman presents a fair portrait of a complex man.
Jobs can be greedy and generous.
Mean or charming. Depressed or optimistic. But, he is always intense. It's a great story and an easy read. I highly recommend it.
