《史蒂夫·乔布斯传记》 Steve Jobs: A Biography此书乃乔布斯生前唯一授权传记,乔布斯罕见的真情流露,对这本书的撰写起到了极大的作用。乔布斯承诺对艾萨克森不干涉其自传内容,鼓励他说实话。艾萨克森撰写的近600页文字也为外界展示了一个真实的乔布斯。
《史蒂夫•乔布斯传》的珍贵性在于,在乔布斯生命的最后日子,除了医生、家人外,本书作者艾萨克森是乔布斯少数见到的几个人之一。最后一次采访结束时,艾萨克森曾忍住内心的悲伤问乔布斯,他二十年来拒绝媒体、刻意注重隐私,为何在过去的两年里,为了这本书,对自己如此开放。乔布斯回答说:“我想让我的孩子们了解我,我并不总跟他们在一起,我想让他们知道为什么,也理解我做过的事。”
