Downey Jr. is captivating as McNeal from the very first scene, in which we learn that in all the novelist’s brilliance, he is a classic tortured genius archetype managing worsening alcoholism. In between a testy exchange with his doctor Sahra Grewal (Ruthie Ann Miles), who warns him he is going to go into liver failure within four months, McNeal waits for a call from Sweden to tell him if he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

In light of the recent, amazing drop of the Acquired Podcast’s Microsoft: Volume II, which covers the Ballmer era, I decided to drop an essay from the vault. Here, I write about someone who many consider the worst CEO of the modern era. But is that right? When looking at CEOs of the recent past, Steve Ballmer is usually painted in a terrible light.

The problem is that, occasionally, something will happen to it. One time, I put a sticker name tag on it—big mistake. Another time, someone scratched it.
