Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: \"Obviously we can't literally put our employees' lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way.\" Fake Steve the political hobnobber: \"I can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch.\" Fake Steve quoting friend\/musician\/philosopher Bono on road etiquette: \"Tink about dat next toim yer cuttin off some bloke and you don't know who it is, right? Could be Jay-sus. Or Boutros Boutros-Ghali or sumfin.\" And on, yes, himself: \"Geniuses have feelings, too.\" In the tradition of Thank You for Smoking and in the spirit of The Onion, Options is a novelistic sendup and takedown of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Washington, D.C., as viewed by a central character who exists, to his immense self-satisfaction, at the crossroads of all three worlds: \"It's like in one of those movies where a guy realizes he's got telekinetic powers and it's just too bad if he doesn't want them, he's got them. Likewise, I have this gift. It's who I am.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735592075552,"sku":"NEW0306817411","price":14.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51fGwozYKhL.jpg?v=1779489256","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/options-the-secret-life-of-steve-jobs-0306817411","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
