I do not think Steve Jobs was perfect or heroic; I do not see a myth here but rather a man. Jobs was a brilliant and talented man and he should have lived another twenty or thirty years. He should have invented more, he should have challenged us more, he should have changed the world in many more dynamic ways.

I hate cancer. I've hated it since the first time it had to be carved out of my body, since it caused my husband's throat to be cut open so he could live, since it killed my father.
