About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a probing, sometimes critical portrait of a tech icon and the culture around him; Not for you if you want a purely celebratory story or lots of product history like The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley.
Pros: balanced look at legacy; thought-provoking questions; engaging archival material | Cons: uneven pacing; can feel overly negative; skips some relationships
