The ugly face of Steve Jobs.. this is how his daughter exposed him in her last book

Listen to the report

For some reason, many assume that a genius in a particular field is necessarily the owner of a great and moral personality on the human level, as if there is a common link that brings together the two qualities.

In fact, this assumption has been proven wrong with many historical figures who were able to achieve great achievements in the fields of science and technology that benefited all of humanity, and at the same time it is very difficult to describe their human personalities as virtuous, or call for the same admiration that they harvested from their geniuses.

Steve Jobs was one of those, the genius technologist and entrepreneur, the founder of "Apple", who was able to change the global technology market, and which constituted the major revolution in the world of smartphones, tablets and computers with distinctive characteristics. No one can deny him his genius and his achievements for the world.

However, Steve Jobs is not considered the best possible example from the human, family and personal point of view.

This appeared in his personal confessions in books that chronicled his biography, and then in the book "The Little Fish", the details of which will be clarified in the report, a book whose "dark" details were written by Steve Jobs's daughter.

The dark side of the moon.. his confession is

In general, all the works that dealt with the biography of Steve Jobs rarely talked about positive aspects of his personal life, and often focus entirely on his genius in establishing his company and his ambition to make technical revolutions around the world.

During his life, many books were issued that chronicle his autobiography, containing many absolutely bad details that he did not deny during his life, but agreed on some of them.

The most famous of these books is the book "Steve Jobs", which was released a few days after his death from cancer in October of the year 2011. The book is a biography of Steve Jobs by the famous journalist writer and former CEO of CNN, Walter Isaacson, He is the same journalist who wrote a group of biographies of important figures in history, most notably Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Kissinger, and others.

The book was compiled and written during the life of Steve Jobs, and at his personal urging Isaacson should write his autobiography.

Indeed, the biography was written based on dozens of interviews with Steve Jobs himself during his illness, along with dozens of people from his family, family, acquaintances and friends, and the book was issued with more than 600 papers containing many surprising facts about Jobs' working life, as well as the shameful and shocking facts about his personal life. .

In addition to many of the details that highlight the genius of Jobs that came up precisely in the book, on the other hand, the book highlighted that Jobs was a narcissistic personality to the highest possible level, always putting himself in the forefront, and is characterized by selfishness most of the time.

He always saw that he was an exceptional person, and he was not intimate with his friends, but rather he treated some of them with a lot of roughness, rudeness and contempt at times.

And when global investigations were raised regarding the poor conditions faced by workers in Apple's factories in China, the book states that these disaster-filled details did not stir his emotions at all.

He also lied all the time, and was not always honest and impartial, and he tended to distort and distort facts if it was in his interest.

In addition, he was addicted to

pills during periods of his life, which he considered a source of ecstasy and creativity.

Various situations that show Steve Jobs' nervousness in front of the public

As for his personal relationship with his family, the book mentions the fact that his personal life was not perfect at all, and he was neither a good husband nor a good father.

On the contrary, his relationship with his wife and daughter was very bad, especially the latter, which the book explained that he treated her with brutal and unjustified cruelty most of the time.

The writer tried to justify this cruelty because of the bad conditions Jobs went through when he found himself alone in an orphanage by his biological father, and the suffering he felt when he found himself in the care of another family that raised him.

Surprisingly, Steve Jobs did not object to any of the details of this book, but rather mentioned a clear confession in which he said: “I admit that I have done many things of which I am not proud,” which means an implicit acknowledgment of the technical genius of what came in the book, which is considered his autobiography. official, before he left our world and succumbed to pancreatic cancer in October 2011.

The "little fish" finally speaks

On the fourth of September 2018, and a few days before the annual "Apple" conference that takes place in September of each year - which is the first questionable mark regarding the timing of its release - a new book is published entitled "

" Talking about the personal aspects of Steve Jobs' life, it is perhaps the most credible and controversial book of all the books published on him.

 The reason is that this book was not written by a friend of Steve Jobs, a veteran biographer, or even a motivational writer, this time the writer is Steve Jobs personally, Lisa Brennan Jobs, who finally decided to unveil the controversial personal aspects of her genius father's life , through personal situations that I experienced closely with him as his only daughter.

Days before the book's release, the New York Times covered the most important details that came in it exclusively, and described what was stated in it as unexpected devastating aspects of the very dark aspects of Jobs' personality on the family level in particular, narrated by his daughter Lisa directly, although all the time she tends to To try to analyze these positions with interpretations that sometimes seem very naive and superficial, and at other times it seems an attempt to mitigate the impact of these shocks on the public who loves Jobs, who may believe that she is trying to distort the character of her father after his death.

Lisa was born in 1978, for five years from the moment of her birth, Steve Jobs categorically refused to admit that she was his daughter, and told his wife "Brennan" that Lisa was not his daughter, and that he was not responsible for her expenses at all.

Brennan later took a DNA test that proved that Lisa was Steve Jobs' daughter, and that he was required to pay her a modest $500 monthly bond.

In other words, from the first moment Lisa came to life, she faced her father's refusal to recognize her as his daughter, as well as the bad and unjustified treatment with which he treated her for a long time during her childhood, which she decided to talk about in her book.

The bad side of a great story

Lisa Brennan Jobs (networking sites)

As a writer, after Lisa Jobs traveled to Europe to work in banks, then worked in design, and ended her career as an editor in some literary magazines, it seems clear from the style of the book - according to reports - that it has a literary character without a doubt.

Lisa Jobs tells different situations from her life that she combines with her father, and in each of these situations she mentions her opinion or what she learned, or the extent of the pain she felt from him.

Which makes the book more of an autobiography that belongs to her, and not to her father.

Among the situations that Lisa remembers is that in 1983, when she was a 5-year-old daughter, Apple released her first device from the version of "Lisa" (

), which she thought her father had named after his daughter, but she was surprised by her father telling her very clearly and directly. The device did not give it her name at all, but it is an abbreviation of the initials "

", and that the device has nothing to do with his daughter's name.

Another situation Lisa did not hesitate to describe her billionaire father as very stingy, when he completely refused to give her his old Porsche even though he did not need it at all, and replaces his car immediately if it was hit by a slight scratch.

And when she asked him, he coldly refused to give her the car, and told her clearly that she would not inherit anything from him, and that she should get out of her mind that she would have any money from him in his life or after his death!

As for her childhood situations with her father, the writer dealt with them extensively with dozens of situations that explain how strange the personality of Steve Jobs is as a father, husband, and founder of a family. She can afford it in the modest homes of America, and her billionaire father will not be able to provide it for her.

What happened is that "Jobs" refused to put this device in her room, claiming that he was trying to train her on a "certain value system", teaching her how to endure!

Inappropriate scenes... at all

The events of the book and the successive situations that Lisa Jobs mentions continue with linguistic sagacity that makes the reader sympathize with her sometimes, and feel hostility against her at other times. , to clarify highly sensitive aspects of her father and his moral behavior.

Lisa tells that while she was with her father, Jobs, and his second wife, whom he later married, "Lauren Powell", she was surprised that her father was doing indecent things with his wife in front of her eyes.

And when Lisa tried to leave the place, Jobs stopped her, telling her not to leave and to stay in her place to watch these "family moments", and that it was necessary to be part of this family.

And when Lisa sat down, Jobs and his wife continued their scandalous "family" affairs in front of his daughter!

However, she recalls in her memoirs - and she also confirmed in her interview with the New York Times - that she considered this position as part of her father's eccentricities, and that she never felt threatened or suspicious of her father, or the possibility of him being molested or harmed.

However, this kind of strange behavior was not strange to him, according to what his ex-wife - Lisa's mother - said when she mentioned in her memoirs issued in 2013 that she was very worried when she found that Steve Jobs was repeating disgraceful phrases with his young daughter at one time, and that he was speaking in a language Obscene, not appropriate for a father to speak in front of his daughter, seemed very dangerous to her as a mother, which prompted her to closely monitor her daughter every time she feels that Steve Jobs is spending a long time with her.

 But she emphasized at the same time categorically that Jobs had no sexual tendencies towards children, and that everything he did was emanating from his eccentric personality that was pushing him to do and talk things that seemed very bad, but without a real motive to harm.

He was - according to his wife's memoirs - ranging all the time between human and non-human!

You smell like toilets, Lisa

According to the New York Times, the book lists the situations that Lisa went through with her father in its various stages, up to the stage of his pancreatic cancer, which made him very pale, and noticeably lose weight.

But even at that time, illness did not excuse him from his harsh words for her, the most important of which was when he told her to stay away from him a little because it smelled like a "toilet", hanging on the perfume she was wearing.

In fact, this particular comment "You smell like a toilet" was one of the most popular comments on social media prior to the book's release.

However, Lisa's own comment on this situation was that he didn't mean to offend her, rather it was probably just a frank and honest comment on his part at that moment.

However, the last chapter of the book, which Lisa called "the end of the movie", was full of human situations affecting him and her days before his death.

At the end of his life, Steve Jobs was apologizing to his daughter frankly, and told him that he was sorry that he had not spent enough time with her, and that he had missed the moments of her growth, puberty and youth, and that he was sorry for forgetting her birthdays, and not answering her calls and messages.

She also mentioned that she allowed herself to admonish him about some matters related to him not attending her graduation party at the university, and he replied that he was angry with her at that time because she did not invite him in the first place.

His last days were like a simple apology for all his wrong family practices, which Lisa hinted that she accepted him with all the details that remained in her mind throughout her life, until she reached the age of forty.

In the last pages of the book, Lisa Jobs tells that during his last illness, which led to his death, she entered his room and found him exhausted on his bed watching one of the episodes of the famous crime series "

", so he turned his face to her and asked her:

Are you going to write about me?!

Lisa told him she wouldn't, she wouldn't write about it.

“Good.” He said with satisfaction, then turned his face to the TV to continue watching the series.
