The Genius Who Manipulated the World is a hard-hitting, documentary-style exposé that strips away the myth of Steve Jobs and reveals the controversial truth behind his legendary rise.
Drawing from FBI files, insider testimonies, and forgotten historical accounts, Kunal Kapoor uncovers the darker side of Jobs—the impatience, the control, the theft of ideas, and the psychological manipulation that became his trademark.
Inside, you’ll discover:
The stolen innovations – from Xerox PARC’s GUI to FingerWorks’ multi-touch, how Jobs claimed credit for ideas that weren’t his.
The “Reality Distortion Field” – how Jobs manipulated employees, investors, and even rivals into believing in his vision.
The secret wars – Apple vs. Samsung, Microsoft, and even Jobs’ own co-founders.
The cult of perception – how Apple transformed from a computer company into a global lifestyle brand built on mythmaking.
The human cost – broken friendships, personal sacrifices, and a workplace that demanded everything.
This is not another hero’s tale. It is the untold truth of a man who built an empire not just with innovation, but with manipulation.
Provocative, gripping, and deeply researched, this book will make you question everything you thought you knew about Steve Jobs, Apple, and the myth of the lone genius.
If you’re fascinated by the hidden psychology of leaders, the dark side of Silicon Valley, or the fine line between genius and illusion, this is the exposé you cannot miss.
