'Valley of Genius' Author Reveals the Biggest Secrets About Steve Jobs' Life and Death
*By Mike Teich*
The pioneers behind some of the world's most influential technology companies might not be the lovable nerds you once thought they were.
Until now, the full story of how Silicon Valley came to be was known only to insiders at the center of it all. But the secrets and gossip of the world's tech hub are laid out in Adam Fisher's new book out this week, "Valley of Genius: The Uncensored History of Silicon Valley," including bombshell details about the death of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

“That was kind of the business model at the very beginning,” Fisher said.
