Steve Jobs in Exile
Before the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, there were twelve years of failure. In Steve Jobs in Exile, award-winning journalist Geoffrey Cain chronicles the lost decade that most Jobs biographies treat as a footnote, the years from 1985 to 1997 when Jobs was pushed out of Apple and built his new venture, NeXT, through spectacular failures and near-bankruptcy. Drawing on unbroadcast footage from NeXT meetings, private company documents, and new interviews with Jobs's closest colleagues, Cain traces how that crucible of defeat forged the disciplined, visionary leader who would return to Apple and orchestrate one of the greatest comebacks in business history.
