520			_aLong before others understood the potential of the personal computer, Jobs saw its true power. But it was his visionary use of media to explain technology to a hungry culture that revealed his singular genius. Robinson reconstructs Jobs' imagination for digital innovation in transcendent terms. From Zen Buddhism and Catholicism to dystopian and futurist thought, religion defined and branded Jobs' design methodology.
