Back in 2017 a "Humble Bundle" package included the Lawrence Levy book "To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History"[0]. I got the book there and really enjoyed it.
Levy was brought in, by Jobs, as CFO of Pixar prior to the IPO and the book is concerend with more of the business side of Pixar pivoting from hardware company to studio.

- leoc 5y agoDealers of Lightning has an interesting chapter about Pixar's PARC roots in the SuperPaint group. There's also a very good article somewhere on the web (I can't find it now) about the NYIT years; the NYIT lab was a very strange arrangement. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wnpqnm/the-1970s-graphics-program-that-spurred-space-exploration-computer-picassos-and-pixar https://www.vice.com/en/article/wnpqnm/the-1970s-graphics-pr... is short and OK.
- EvanAnderson 5y agoOh, zow! I read "Dealers of Lightning" years ago and completely forgot that Pixar was even mentioned. I'm going to have to dig that out.
