As Steve Jobs confronts illness, he reflects on his childhood, early experiments with Steve Wozniak, relationships with Chrisann and Laurene, and the ambition that strained those bonds. Guided in memory by his Zen mentor Kobun, he accepts his mortality in a scene that merges his wedding with a memorial; the opera closes by returning to the childhood workbench that began his story.
In 1939, Czech Jewish artist Joe Kavalier escapes Nazi-occupied Prague and joins his cousin Sam Clay in Brooklyn, where they create the superhero the Escapist.
