Steve Jobs was many things to many people: glorified or vilified, depending on individual agendas. Some envied him; others feared him.
I found Steve to be a teacher. That is, if you listened and learned from his actions and words, you came away with profound lessons on many subjects. What does it mean to create something that “surprises and delights”? Something worth doing?
Zen Steve, and companion efforts like Lessons from the Loop, study these lessons, and what they meant to those of us working at Apple, and with and around Steve, in that turbulent, exciting time.
