In the years after leaving General Magic, Tony did a lot of reflecting about what went wrong.
What made this company that had all the best people, all the money, all the possibility, fail?
He ended up writing his own book.
It's called Build, where he talks about his time at General Magic and all the lessons he took away.
He kind of turned what happened there into a list of everything not to do.
A few years after leaving General Magic, he was hired by Apple to work on this idea he had, a portable MP3 player.
When he had a prototype, Steve Jobs saw it, and he was like, Oh, this is great.
I really want to do this thing.
