Isaacson is an author, journalist and former CEO of the Aspen Institute. He has written biographies of Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Henry Kissinger (a book for which he earned a Pulitzer Prize nomination). His most recent biography “Leonardo da Vinci” was published in 2017.

“Steve Jobs” is an authorized biography of its idiosyncratic and complex subject.
