When is the Steve Jobs Autobiography Coming Out?

“Steve Jobs has started writing a book,” a plugged-in tipster tells me. It’s the barest of rumors, but the book industry is already eagerly anticipating the Apple CEO’s autobiography.

Even though the author’s note that Jobs being on leave from Apple, and probably bored out of his skull, is in the best opportunity ever for him to write an autobiography, I still can’t really imagine him doing that.

I’d think he wants to be remembered for what he created rather than how he lived; and I’d think he’s too narcissistic to write a really honest public account of his life, but too smart not to realize that anything else would be useless. But then, I’m only trying to put myself into his shoes, and I just can’t really imagine what it feels like to be a 55-year-old Steve Jobs possibly dying of cancer.
