Photos from Silicon Valley's early years show Jobs in his natural habitat
If you want an unfiltered glimpse into the early days of Silicon Valley, look no further than the recently released Doug Menuez book Fearless Genius. A photojournalist in the thick of the early tech revolution, Menuez spent much of his time from 1985 to 2000 documenting the companies and faces that would eventually become household names. It was an age where CRT monitors were still high tech and Steve Jobs was a NeXT employee, and his work is quite impressive.
You can pick up his book right now on Amazon, but you'd rather take a free glimpse at some of his fantastic photos you can do so in a cool little gallery Wired has put together. It's worth checking out solely for the chance to see Jobs "pretending to be a human" and Steve Ballmer looking like he's about to knock out a Microsoft programmer. Ah, the good old days.
