Abstract

Multinational technology master Apple’s popularity and profitability has made its logo among the world’s most recognizable, and its gadgets have had a profound impact on 21st-century culture. Speculation about whether its logo has ties to the biblical story of Adam and Eve may be unfounded, but read through an Apple-inspired hermeneutic, the story of Genesis 2–4 reveals rulebreaking nonconformity as a powerful path to human progress but cautions against the risk of its benefits: obscuring the needs of others nearby.
