Near death, Jobs flew to Tennessee, where he underwent an organ transplant.

Inspired by their hero and idol, Steve Jobs, Nate and Ignacio repurpose the liver to create a new startup, Reliqueree.

“Dark, twisted, and absolutely hilarious”

I’ve been writing about the technology industry for decades, and this book captures the weirder-than-truth moments that I’ve come across so frequently. Yes, it’s entertaining, and yes, you’ll want to keep reading to get onto the next page. But it also gets across essential truths about technology and the people who work in it more than any non-fiction book ever could. Highly recommended.
