Author: Lisa Brennan-Jobs
This is a beautiful book that takes the reader through the early private life of Steve Jobs. Chrisann Brennan had a relationship with Steve Jobs in the seventies and Lisa Brennan-Jobs was born in 1978. For many years, Steve denied paternity but finally accepted it in the eighties and developed a connection with her. This memoir explores the ups and downs of this relationship and provides a rare and unfiltered view into their world.
One example is the story of how he bought her a car when she was a teenager. Despite his immense wealth at the time, he insisted on buying her a used VW Beetle to teach her the importance of frugality and hard work.
Another more painful example is the one where she confronts her father on the naming of the Apple Lisa computer. He insists that it stands for Local Integrated Software Architecture and denies her the joy of having a computer named after her.
In the end, Steve leaves a considerable amount of money to Lisa and so hopefully all is good moving forwards!
