The Steve Jobs Archive
In the autumn of 2022, Steve Jobs’s friends and family launched an archive to celebrate the life, work, and correspondence of the technology titan. It’s meant to become an insightful and valuable resource for new generations to get inspired and leave their own marks.
The repository was launched by Powell at Vox Media’s Code conference. According to Powell, the archive stems from his husband’s long-held belief that once we understand that everything and all the systems that govern our lives on the earth were designed by other humans. Once we understand this, we as human beings can change it, interrogate it, and stretch it. This is how human progress happens.
Jobs is known to revolutionize Silicon Valley and shaped the way we use technology today by starting Apple Inc. He played the most prominent role in bringing the company back from the verge of bankruptcy to becoming the first U.S. company to reach a $1 trillion market cap. During his tenure, Apple launched iPod and iPhones that have changed the way the world uses the web, listens to music, etc. He also pioneered the unique touch-screen technology that powers iPads and iPhones.
The forthcoming ebook “Make Something Wonderful” will be available for digital download. While Apple and Disney DIS are producing some physical copies of the book, these will not be available for sale to the general public, according to reliable sources.
