The Secret Life of Steve Jobs, a satire about Silicon Valley which was published in 2007 to critical acclaim. In this tedious parody of the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs, the pseudonymous Fake Steve Jobs offers a gleeful sendup of the real Steve Jobs set amid the recent stock options backdating scandal. Throughout, the fake Steve pontificates on everything from his superior management skills (only promote stupid people) to his role in the development of the iPhone (it involves a lot of non-thinking meditation), and is portrayed as a cold, callow narcissist.
