Take an early peek at “The Zen of Steve Jobs”
By Adam Tebbe
Steve Jobs, the recently departed CEO of Apple, is featured in an upcoming graphic novel put out by Jess3 and Forbes this Fall. The narrative is a re-imagining of Jobs and his relationship with the late Kobun Chino Otogawa, the Soto Zen priest who helped at Tassajara Zen Center during its early years and who went on to establish a vibrant lineage in the United States and Europe. Jobs met Kobun Roshi in the late 1970s while Kobun was at Haiku Zendo (Los Altos Zen Cener) in California, and carried on his friendship with the late master in the decade that followed.
More, with a peek at a page from The Zen of Steve Jobs, after the jump.
While the graphic novel is an imagined version of this student-teacher relationship, it offers what might be for some readers their first glimpse in to Steve Jobs’ exploration of Zen Buddhism, which is alluded to in mainstream media descriptions of the former Apple CEO, but rarely discussed otherwise. The novel will be featured in Forbes’ upcoming Fall 400 issue, consisting of 60-pages. Above is a little taste of what readers will find awaiting them.
