ABOUT GEOFFREY CAIN

I write about people who hit rock bottom and came back.My next book, Steve Jobs in Exile, comes out May 19, 2026 from Portfolio at Penguin Random House. It\'s the untold story of the twelve years Steve Jobs spent in the wilderness after being pushed out of Apple.His reputation crumbled and his products flopped. But those failures forged the genius who would lead the greatest comeback in business history. I spent three years on this book: interviews, thousands of documents, hours of unbroadcast footage. Preorder now: geoffreycain.net.I\'m also the author of Samsung Rising (longlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year) and The Perfect Police State (NPR\'s Book of the Day, Overseas Press Club citation for the Cornelius Ryan Award). My books have been called \"gripping\"(Financial Times),\"riveting\"(The Economist), and \"a prescient, alarming work\"(Kirkus starred review).I\'m a regular guest on CNN, NPR, and Bloomberg, and I\'ve testified before the U.S. Senate.I also help leaders tell their stories. As Managing Partner of Alembic Partners, I work with founders, investors, and senior executives who want to build lasting authority — through books, strategic positioning, and public presence. alembicpartners.com—Subscribe to my newsletter, The Burner Files: http://geoffreycain.substack.com/For speaking engagements: Tom Neilssen, t•••@brightsightspeakers.comFor media and podcasts: Lauren Ball, l•••••@penguinrandomhouse.comFor literary, film, translation rights: David Halpern, d••••@halpernliterary.comFor executive branding and advisory: h••••@alembicpartners.com
