Carl Sagan was a humanist who strived to teach science as a way of thinking and interpreting the world. His 1995 book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark was a kind of message he left to humanity before he died of cancer.

Steve Jobs wasn't at Apple when this happened. Sagan sued for an internal codename that was not meant to go public. Steve was a dick. Carl was a dick. People who achieve a lot can be dicks.
