Apple CEO Steve Jobs will assist in an upcoming biography, according to “The New York Times” (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/technology/companies/16apple.html). The biography will be written by Walter Issacson, a former managing editor of “TIME” magazine.

Isaacson is currently the CEO and president of the Aspen Institute, a nonprofit education and policy studies organization based in Washington. He’s penned two other biographies, “Einstein: His Life and Universe” and “Benjamin Franklin: An American Life.”

According to “The NY Times,” the Jobs biography will cover the entire life of Jobs, from his youth in the area now known as Silicon Valley through his years at Apple. The article adds that the Apple CEO, who will turn 55 on Feb. 24, has invited Isaacson to tour his childhood home.
