In case you didn’t know more than you wanted to about Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs, his authorized biography is scheduled to come out next year from publisher Simon & Schuster.
Titled “iSteve: The Book of Jobs” is being written by former CNN CEO and Time managing editor Walter Isaacson. As you’d expect from anything to do with Apple, details of its contents remind under a tight lid of secrecy, but the “authorized” tag means the author has been given unprecedented access to not only Jobs, but also Apple and his family.
The invention of the iPod and the iTunes music store did much to kickstart Apple’s turnaround, so expect there to be some interesting stories on Jobs initial meetings with the music industry.
Isaacson previously penned biographries on Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin. Earlier unauthorized biographies of Jobs include “The Second Coming of Steve Jobs,” and the less-flattering “iCon: Steve Jobs.”
