The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs

This is the title of an upcoming performance, described as a monologue, by Mike Daisey, at the venerable Berkeley Repertory Theatre.  Here is the description (go here for more detials and buy tickets):


In The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, Daisey dives into the epic story of a real-life Willy Wonka whose personal obsessions profoundly affect our everyday lives—and follows the trail to China where millions toil in factories to create iPhones and iPods.


I wonder if it will be any good.  I am tempted to see it.  At the same time, I confess that I am starting to feel sorry for both Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg in some ways. The bright glare of attention has many disadvantages and isnt much fun.  But they are both fascinating characters and it is hard to resist following their antics and speculating about their motivations.


P.S. Thanks to Marijke for pointing this out.
