    New book, shipping May 19, from author Geoffrey Cain:

    For twelve years, from 1985 to 1997, Jobs wandered the business
    wilderness with his new venture, NeXT. It was a period of spectacular
    failures, near-bankruptcy, and brutal humiliation. But out of this
    crucible of defeat emerged the visionary leader who would go on to
    create the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, transforming Apple into the most
    valuable company on earth.

    Drawing on previously unpublished materials and new interviews with
    the key players, Geoffrey Cain reveals the untold story of Steve
    JobsrCOs rCLlost decaderCYrCerCorCethe formative years that shaped the icon we thought we knew.

    Afterword by Ed Catmull, who was obviously intimately familiar with
    Jobs in that era. And via CainrCOs post on LinkedIn[1] announcing the
    book, the foreword is by NeXT cofounder DanrCOl Lewin.

    Actually, no. While NeXT was floundering, Jobs himself was busy making
    his second fortune with the success of Pixar.
