Hello Mr. Isaacson! Very happy to have caught this AMA! Jobs was one of my favorite biographies, only next to yours on Einstein. I wanted to ask if, now that Steve Jobs has passed away, if there were any unanswered questions that you wish you had gotten answers during your interviews with him or have you thought of any new questions that you wish you had asked when you could?

I'm in the New Orleans area and agree, but don't leave out Half Moon! Or Tipps!

How do you decide on a subject when you are working on biographies? Are they usually through a commission, or are you making the conscious decision to just write about someone you are interested in? What is the tipping point that lets you know you are going all the way with the book?

Thank you for the reply. That would be a fantastic book, with the music accompaniment. I hope you do go back to that and share that experience with the world! You have brought a lot of insight to a large audience on some very important people, keep it coming!
