Twitter Capsule: Sorkin hawks own devices as aggressively as Jobs did. They work less well. Investments in Jobs both murky and excessive.

VOR: ③  Format, timeline abjure biopic norms but this still isn't wholly original. Family history still "explains" public exploits, etc. Sorkin doing Sorkin. At least worth arguing about.
