The new project has been launched to commemorate what would have been Apple founder Steve Jobs’s 71st birthday. It’s a collection of over 30 essays, most illustrated with a pen sketch of the writer, which is inspired by one of Jobs’s favorite books.
“Among the books that mattered to Steve was Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet,” writes Jobs’s widow, Laurene Powell Jobs in her essay. “I’m struck by this line from its pages: ‘Live the questions for now. Perhaps then you will gradually, without noticing it, live your way into the answer, one distant day in the future.'”
