Iconic Apple founder Steve Jobs is set to have an biography about his life written. It emerges that this biography, unlike others in the past, is endorsed by Jobs, so much so that he’s overseeing the whole process and is rumoured to be authoring some sections himself.

Jobs, who founded Apple along with Steve Wozniack, has a fascinating history, which includes founding the computer giant, being forced out of the company by his board of directors, selling all but one share and then being asked to come back many years later.

In-between his departure and return, Jobs also founded two other companies – NeXt Computers, which was the core of what became OS X, and Pixar, the animation company that Disney would later buy for over $7 billion in stock, making Jobs the single largest shareholder of that media conglomerate.

And though this would be sufficient achievement for one career, Steve Jobs was only beginning to make his mark in history. Praised as a noteworthy speaker of immense ability to cultivate enthusiasm for the products he punts, Steve Jobs returned to Apple and oversaw the creation of the iPod, and iPhone, and now the imminent arrival of the iPad, and iTunes is revolutionising the music industry. The iPhone upended everything people thought they knew about smartphones, and the iPad looks to create a brand new category of devices.
