This is first time I'm learning about this company. Interesting read.
This part:
"General Magic came to an excruciating end. Tony went on to build the iPhone, Andy Rubin built Android, Pierre Omidyar built eBay, Megan Smith became VP of Google and then America’s CTO, Kevin Lynch built apple Watch…I could keep going."
Reminded me of Jorodosky's Dune and how the team he gathered went on the do iconic films/art
