First Authorized Steve Jobs biography coming next year


Simon & Schuster has just announced Walter Isaacson’s “iSteve: The Book of Jobs” will be published in early-2012, making it the first authorized biography of our beloved CEO. Isaacson has authored bios of Albert Einstein, Benjamin Frankin and Henry Kissinger, so Steve will be in good company.

FORTUNE has a great portrait of Isaacson, “the man who won Steve Jobs’ trust.” What a résumé that guy has.

James first bit into Apple when his mom and dad bought an Apple IIe in 1986. He switched to Wintel in the mid 90s when Apple was in a tailspin and back again to an iBook in 2005 when things were looking brighter. Hopefully there is no turning back to the dark side now.
