I felt a little tawdry purchasing the two unauthorized Steve Jobs biographies that I did, largely because they were hailed as being sensationalist, inaccurate, and produced in defiance of their subject's wishes; but I consider Jobs one of the most important non-designer Americans to have an influence on product design in this era, and I was curious to learn about him.
Well, looks like there will be an official biography after all, as Jobs has agreed to cooperate with former Time E-in-C Walter Isaacson on a printed version of the story of his life (or at least the story of his business).
Jobs' book will be in good company on library shelves--Isaacson previously penned biographies on Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin.
By the by, doesn't Jobs kinda look like Ashton Kutcher's brother in that photo above?
And as for why Jobs waited this long to do a biography, I'm thinking maybe he wanted to wait until there was a compelling device to read it on.
