Steve Jobs has chosen a collaborator for his memoirs
Many potential biographers in recent years have attempted to present in the book the stellar biography of Steve Jobs, a young visionary who was expelled from Apple and who returned triumphantly there to bring the world to a new era of high-tech innovation.
But all these attempts lacked one important ingredient: cooperation from Jobs himself. Now Apple’s executive director, who turns 55 on February 24, has finally decided. The cult leader’s memoirs will be written by Walter Isaacson, former managing editor of Time magazine.
Now the book is in the early planning stage, reports the NY Times. It will describe the whole life of Steve Jobs: from his childhood in Mountain View (later they will create the so-called Silicon Valley) to his career at Apple.

Steve has already invited Isaacson to tour his foster parents' home.
Walter Issacon is now the executive director and president of the Aspen Institute in Washington, a non-profit organization that specializes in educational research. He is also the author of two biographical bestsellers about Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin. In addition, he wrote a collection of essays about the great leaders of America.
At the moment, there are already several unauthorized biographies of Jobs, including this one and this one . Steve himself angrily spoke of some of them and even tried to take revenge on guilty publishers, ordering them to remove their other books from Apple stores.
