In 1995, Steve Jobs sat down for a rare, 70-minute interview. It was just before he would return from his forced exile from Apple, become its CEO and go on to present the world with such very cool, society-changing items as the iPhone, the iPod, the iPad and iTunes. A snippet of the interview was used in a PBS program; the rest lost somewhere in transit. But recently a copy was found, and it’s something that everyone should see, wherever his or her interests lie. The leading visionary of our times, then 40, is candid and expansive, articulate and focused; even funny. Highly recommended.
