Steve Jobs Biography to Include Resignation, Will Launch as Planned

Tweet

Steve Jobs’ resignation as Apple CEO brought as much surprise to Apple fans, tech industry observers and investors alike. But even as the technology icon’s official biography is almost ready to be published, the book will still be able to include details of his resignation in the book.

Steve Jobs is known to value his privacy. But even so, a handful of unofficial biographies have been written, including The Second Coming of Steve Jobs and iCon: Steve Jobs, The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business. His first official biography, Steve Jobs: A Biography, is scheduled to come out in November this year. But Jobs’ recent resignation will have author Walter Isaacson scrambling to include new details about Jobs life and work, given his recent move to hand over Apple’s reins to Tim Cook.

Simon & Schuster, publisher of the highly-anticipated biography, has recently announced that the book will include details and insights about Steve Jobs’ resignation from his own point of view. The author is said to be in regular contact with Jobs, and is actually still working on the book’s final chapter. Meanwhile, news of Jobs’ resignation as Apple CEO has resulted in a spike in pre-orders.

The book comes out November 21, 2011, and the publishers promise it will ship on time. The biography will include interviews with former girlfriends, family members, colleagues and industry contemporaries (including rivals). Jobs has also given the author and publisher his go-signal to print the book even without first reviewing the material.
