An illustrated depiction of Steve Jobs' friendship with Zen
Buddhist Kobun Chino Otogawa and the impact it had on Jobs' career
Apple cofounder Steve Jobs (1955-2011) had such an enormous impact
on so many people that his life often took on aspects of myth. But
much of his success was due to collaboration with designers,
engineers and thinkers. The Zen of Steve Jobs tells the story of
Jobs' relationship with one such person: Kobun Chino Otogawa. Kobun
was a Zen Buddhist priest who emigrated to the U.S. from Japan in
the early 1970s. He was an innovator, lacked appreciation for rules
and was passionate about art and design. Kobun was to Buddhism as
Jobs was to the computer business: a renegade and maverick. It
wasn't long before the two became friends--a relationship that was
not built to last. This graphic book is a reimagining of that
friendship. The story moves back and forward in time, from the
1970s to 2011, but centers on the period after Jobs' exile from
Apple in 1985 when he took up intensive study with Kobun. Their
time together was integral to the big leaps that Apple took later
on with its product design and business strategy. Told using
stripped down dialogue and bold calligraphic panels, The Zen of
Steve Jobs explores how Jobs might have honed his design aesthetic
via Eastern religion before choosing to identify only what he needs
and leave the rest behind.
