New biography of Steve Jobs comes out March 2012

Since Steve is intimately involved, I think this will be the approved biography, but not the definitive. Steve has a way of spinning things to show him in the best light. For example, I very much doubt that this book will cover why he ignored Lisa for the better part of her life. I could be wrong, but I think the reality distortion field will be at full blast for this book.

It's about time, I've been waiting for a good bio on Steve for a long time. The Amazon reviews for the other books about him have always been mixed.

Any opinions on Walter Isaacson's other biographies and journalistic talents? I enjoyed Steven Levy's In the Plex quite a bit. Although authorized, it was very insightful and reasonably balanced without too much Google worship. If iSteve is written anything like that it should be pretty enjoyable. Worth a trip to the library at the very least.

But I've already read (and enjoyed) iCon and Accidental Empires. What's so great about this one?

Having read many books in this genre over many years, I predict that readers hoping to discover Steve Jobs' recipe for success will come away with little more than "Be Steve Jobs".
