Steve Jobs made the world more science fictional (io9)

So if you're trying to sort out your perhaps mixed feelings about the man behind Apple, there's no better way than to rewatch some classic Pixar films. As critic Kyle Munkittrick once argued, many Pixar films have post-human messages in them — they embrace machine intelligence, explore non-human forms of culture, look at the domestic side of superpowers, and argue against the oppression of monsters. Whatever you think of Steve Jobs, he helped make the world a more science fictional place. The future will be a better place thanks to the work Jobs did in what has just become our past.
