Jobs of Work - E-book - ePub

April 1980: 24-year-old entrepreneur Steve Jobs has just made his first million and is preparing to take his fledgling company, Apple Computer, public. But when he discovers he's being followed, he senses a threat, which leads him to Alec Smart, a young private eye in Los Gatos, the Silicon Valley suburb where Jobs owns a home. Smart's assignment: Find out who's shadowing Steve, find out what they want.and get rid of them.
In spite of Jobs' obnoxious and self-centered personality, Smart reluctantly accepts the assignment. This leads the duo down a rabbit hole in which they discover that a major corporation (no, not IBM) has Apple in its sights for a hostile takeover. Even worse, this corporation is dead set on gaining control, by hook or by crook.to the point that they're prepared to terminate the prickly millionaire if he stands in their way.
Are a couple of 20-something guys in blue jeans smart enough and subversive enough to thwart the sinister plan of the world's largest and most profitable corporation? (Well, of course, the answer is "Yes, " but the fun is finding out how, right? As Steve Jobs himself said, "The journey is the reward." So reward yourself with this comic journey.)
