The release of the first official biography of Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs has been pushed up by nearly five months.
Steve Jobs: A Biography is now slated to hit bookshelves on November 21. Book publisher Simon & Schuster intended to release the book in March 2012, but has decided to move that date back. According to Simon & Schuster, the book is being released early because “the book is now ready.”
The biography, originally titled iSteve: The Book of Jobs, is being penned by Walter Isaacson, the former CEO of CNN and the former managing editor of Time. It contains information from more than forty interview conducted with Steve Jobs. The biography also includes hundreds of interview with “family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues,” according to the publisher.
The book is sure to be a bestseller. Jobs is an iconic figure in technology and society for co-founding Apple, being kicked out of the company he created, selling Pixar to Disney, and returning to Apple to turn it into the world’s most valuable company. Perhaps that’s why many people believe he isone of the world’s greatest CEOs.
