Steve Jobs’s Marriage Was Far More Painful Than Anyone Knew

Before Apple, before the turtlenecks and the keynotes, Steve Jobs was a twenty-two-year-old who refused to take responsibility for the child he helped create. This is the story almost nobody talks about — the years the Silicon Valley mythology skips over, when a teenage love affair in Cupertino quietly produced a daughter the future icon of tech would spend years publicly denying. In this video we trace Jobs's on-and-off relationship with artist Chrisann Brennan from their high school days through the birth of Lisa Brennan-Jobs in 1978, and the years that followed: the welfare, the house-cleaning jobs, the rumor campaign inside Apple's own orbit, and the strange twist of the Lisa computer — the machine Jobs swore was named after an acronym, while Brennan says it was her daughter's name all along. We look at how Jobs slowly, then all at once, became a father, and what the public record misses about how he got there.
