Jobs 'also flowered intellectually during his last two years in high
school and found himself at the intersection, as he had begun to see
it, of those who were geekily immersed in electronics and those who
were into literature and creative endeavors. “I started to listen to
music a whole lot, and I started to read more outside of just science
and technology—Shakespeare, Plato. I loved King Lear.” His other
favorites included Moby-Dick and the poems of Dylan Thomas. I asked
him why he related to King Lear and Captain Ahab, two of the most
willful and driven characters in literature, but he didn’t respond to
the connection I was making, so I let it drop.'
