In 1995 Robert Cringely made Triumph of the Nerds, an epic PBS miniseries about the founding of the personal computer industry that has been seen in more than 60 countries. A highlight of the show was Cringely's interview with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in which he sorely criticized Microsoft for making bad products. That candid, controversial, and funny interview was by far the best TV interview Jobs ever gave. Yet less than 10 minutes were used in the series and the other 59 minutes were lost forever when the master tapes disappeared in shipping. Until now.... An unedited copy of the entire Jobs interview was discovered recently in London. Restored and improved, yet completely original and unedited, Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview is a fascinating piece of history, as well as a unique look into the mind of the American business genius who grew Apple 100-fold into the most valuable company in America by revolutionizing computers, music, movies, telephones, and more. Most importantly, it offers fresh insight and a deep understanding of a man who changed our world.
