Finally, a true biography of Steve Jobs!

Walter Isaacson, former managing editor in chief of Time magazine, is going to write a biography of Apple’s legendary CEO, Steve Jobs. What is so fabulous about it? Earlier, we have seen biographies of Steve Jobs written by Jeffery S. Young and William L. Simon ( iCon: Steve Jobs, the Greatest Second Act in the History of Business) and Alan Deutschman ( The Second Coming of Steve Jobs). Well, the big difference is- all the earlier biographies did not have any co-operation from Jobs himself. This time, Mr.Jobs will give access the writer into his life. New York Times reports:

Now Apple’s chief executive is set to collaborate on an authorized biography, to be written by Walter Isaacson, the former managing editor of Time magazine, according to two people briefed on the project.

The book, which is in the early planning stages, would cover the entire life of Mr. Jobs, from his youth in the area now known as Silicon Valley through his years at Apple, these people said.

Isaacson was not available for comment. Steve Jobs will turn 55 on February 24, 2010. He had been very angry with his biographies and in few cases ordered the books to be removed from Apple stores.

Steve Jobs, who was born to Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. In April, 1976, Jobs, along with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, founded Apple and sold “Apple I personal computer kit.” Then in 1985, he was removed from Apple. In 1997, he again returned to Apple and single handedly turned it into one of the top companies in the world.
