FSJ is in fact Forbes senior editor Daniel Lyons, who was outed a month back as the author of "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs". If you read Fake Steve's blog, you know what to expect: A first person portrait of the Real Steve Jobs which paints him as a self satisfied, hippy control freak with an ego bigger than an iPod Classic hard drive. In short, exactly what we believe to be the truth.

First thoughts? Hilarious. I started reading with my morning coffee and got so carried away I started blogging an hour late. Full review when I finish it. The book is available on November 1st (and yes, that's a pre-launch cover image, grabbed from Amazon).
