Steve Sem-Sandberg (born 16 August 1958) is a Swedish journalist, novelist, non-fiction writer, and translator. He made his literary debut in 1976 with the two science fiction novels Sländornas värld and Sökare i dödsskuggan.[1] He was awarded the Dobloug Prize for fiction in 2005.[2]

His 2009 novel, The Emperor of Lies, was awarded the August Prize. It recounts the life of the Łódź ghetto and its leader Chaim Rumkowski in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II.[1]

Daphne Merkin in The New York Times said that he had succeeded in writing "a freshly felt, fully absorbing novel about the Holocaust," an even more difficult task as he was writing about a known historical figure in Rumkowski.[3] By combining both intimate views and overall history, he conveys an effect "both super-realist and surrealist, in the manner of an animated documentary."[3]

List of depictions of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was an American pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s who, along with Steve Wozniak, founded Apple Computer. Before and after his death in 2011, Jobs was known as a counter-culture figure within the computer industry, and as a perfectionist who could be demanding of his colleagues and employees—sometimes to the point of cruelty. Jobs's official biographer, Walter Isaacson, described him as a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious driv...
