Publisher Golden Rabbit has released \"Next Steve Jobs,\" a book covering the 12 years after Steve Jobs was pushed out of Apple in 1985 and founded NeXT. It focuses on a period the publisher says biographies, critiques and films have ignored or romanticised, describing Jobs\' perfectionism, financial peril and turmoil at the company. It also covers a \"serious crisis list\" and dealings involving U.S. intelligence agencies, and traces how Jobs developed NeXTSTEP.
