My father didn’t highlight anything in this book.
But he made it a point to leave a post-it note toward the end. 
 
This biography tells the story of a man who shaped the digital world — and at the end, wished he’d shaped something more human. Steve Jobs, written by Walter Isaacson, is more than a tech origin story. It’s a warning wrapped in legacy.
 
My father labeled this Artifact 0006.
 
His only note:
“He built the future. But he forgot to stay in it.”
 
By the time I was born, the Apple ecosystem had become the OS of reality. In 2038, we don’t ask if tech is helpful — we ask how much freedom we’re willing to trade for comfort. This book didn’t just reveal who Steve Jobs was. It showed me who my father didn’t want to become.
 
Includes:
Original 2011 hardcover copy
Handwritten timeline of my father’s goals when he first read it
Handwritten note by me
Post-it on the back cover: “A beautiful cage is still a cage.”
 
This artifact is for those reprogramming what it means to live well.
