review 1: Caleb Melby takes on an interesting aspect of Steve Jobs' life - that of his fascination with Zen Buddhism and his decades long friendship with (Master) Chino Otogawa. The short graphic novel presentation (80 pages) works well to present this relationship and how Zen practices and philosophies ultimately influenced product design and functional aesthetics in Apple's products. A quick read that will appeal mostly to Jobs/Apple disciples.
review 2: If I had paid for the Zen of Steve Jobs, I might feel differently. $20 retail for a 65-page story (80 pages with extras) might be a bit much. But borrowed from the public library - I liked it a lot!Like the practice of zen itself, this graphic novel excels in its simplicity. By focusing on a single relationship, w... moreith Job's friend and zen master Kobun Chino Otogawa, the book details a very small part of a larger whole. As such, you get an intricate, insightful view of two similar and yet very different men. Melby's non-linear script is quirky and fascinating. The artwork by Jess3 is exceptional, and really shapes and propels the story forward. I could read this story again and again. I may have to buy it after all! less
