Steve Jobs in Exile - Geoffrey Cain

geoffreycain.net/steve-jobs-in-exile

Steve Jobs in Exile is the Untold Story of NeXT and the Remaking of an American Visionary. In 1985, Steve Jobs was pushed out of Apple, the company he’d founded. What followed were twelve years of spectacular failures, near-bankruptcy, and brutal humiliation at his new venture, NeXT—a “lost decade” that would ultimately forge the visionary who created the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Drawing on unbroadcast footage, private company documents, and new interviews with Jobs’s closest colleagues, Geoffrey Cain reveals the untold story of how failure transformed a brash wunderkind into a true business genius, and how the greatest comeback in tech history was born from defeat.

Underhill: A Mars Colony Game

underhillgame.com

I built a desktop Mars colony survival game called Underhill, in homage to Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. Land on Mars, build solar panels and greenhouses, and try not to pass out during dust storms. Eventually your colonists split into factions: Greens who want to terraform and Reds who want to preserve Mars.
There’s Chill Mode for players that just want to build & hang, and Conflict Mode that introduces the Red v. Green factions. Reds sabotage, the terrain slowly turns green as the world gets more terraformed.
