Walter Isaacson’s authorised biography of Steve Jobs is a fascinating book, both in how it came to be and how it unfolds, but it’s certainly not your average celebrity puff piece.
With geoblocking in place it’s rare for US content to be freely watchable in Australia. In the case of US 60 Minutes interview with Walter Isaacson regarding his Steve Jobs biography, it’s fully watchable — and we’ve got it right after the jump.
Part of 60 Minutes’ terrific interview with Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson fixates, naturally, on mortality. As much as Jobs focused on perfecting the material, he always had an eye on the spiritual. Hear him talk about living and dying.
Not only has Steve Jobs given the thumb’s up to an official biography about his life – the first ever official biography – but he’s also agreed to be interviewed by the author, Walter Isaacson.
There’ve been many books documenting the life of Steve Jobs, attempts to worm inside of Steve’s brain. The NYT reports that Walter Isaacson, Time magazine’s former managing editor, will write the first authorised biography, however. Steve’s supposedly invited Isaacson to tour his childhood home, even. I wonder what kind of conditions Isaacson had to agreed to in order for this to happen.
