New York City
The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs takes place in our current dystopian world, where the narrator, a self-professed "worshipper in the cult of Mac," takes a trip to China to see for himself how the product is manufactured, and finds that our thirst for the newest gadgets has far-reaching implications that are not usually considered by those who line up to purchase the latest technological wonders at curiously inexpensive prices.
