Steve Jobs' first girlfriend Chrisann Brennan has come out with nitty-gritty details about her relationship with the Apple co-founder back in the days when the two of them were together.

Her book, 'The Bite in the Apple: A Memoir of My Life with Steve Jobs', throws light on their relationship and how it went sour with the success of Apple Inc.

They were chums at Homestead High School in Cupertino and dated for five years until Jobs split with Brennan when she informed him about her pregnancy. 

Jobs continued to deny being the father of Brennan's daughter Lisa, even though a 1979 paternity test proved him Lisa's biological father.  

He later confirmed that Lisa was her daughter and sponsored her Harvard education.

In the first excerpt released in the New York Post, Brennan compares her hot and cold relationship to a 'game of Snakes and Ladders, with Steve as the game master. The ups were hopeful and the downs were extreme. I didn't know how to hold my own with him because he didn't play fair. He just played to win - and win at any cost.' (from the excerpt)

According to Brennan, Steve had started pointing out her follies, the wrinkles on her face. He mocked others to show his superiority.

Steve, Brennan recalls, had become her self-appointed guru who took up the task of enlightening her. 

His relationship with his spiritual guru, Japanese Zen master Kobun Chino Otogawa was perplexing; they had a distinct code language of their own and Brennan concluded they were both infatuated with each other, taking delight in self-aggrandizing.

Their relationship was clearly on the rocks; Jobs usurped her bedroom (Brennan says Jobs did not want to share the room) and made love when he felt up to it.

As Brennan writes, 'Steve and I still shared nights of lovemaking so profound that, astonishingly, some fifteen years later, he called me out of the blue to thank me for them. He was married at the time of his call and all I could think of was, Whoa . . . men . . . are . . . really . . . different. Imagine if I had called him to say such a thing'

In the course of her excerpt, Brennan calls him vicious, demon, emotionally underdeveloped and despotic, which makes one wonder if it is a publicity stunt by Chrisann Brennan or is it her way to settle old scores with the iconic genius.
