This upcoming book about Steve Jobs during the NeXT years sounds really good, via John Gruber:

With unprecedented access to unbroadcast footage of Jobs in NeXT meetings, private company documents, and interviews with his closest colleagues, Cain offers the definitive account of how failure transformed a brash wunderkind into a true business genius.

I got my first Mac during those years. Steve was legendary, NeXT machines felt almost mythical, and I’m not sure I ever considered that he would return to Apple. What an extraordinary life.

@manton We had a NeXT (“Nee-zit”) around at Ohio State Computer Science in those days. Pretty slick machine at the time.

@eludom Universities seemed like the best place to find them. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see one until years later.
