Definitely not present. Because either this is a current autobiography (in which case what are the chances that your book is exactly 179 pages and discuss the present at the end) or a future autobiography (in which case what are the chances you end up hitting the present at page 179).

I always preferred the future interpretation. It leaves a lot of room for creativity. I wrote mine not about being president, but losing a presidential primary race I didn’t have a shot in. It was an ironic piece, and I thought it played well. Too bad I’ll never know if it would have worked, because I wrote it for fun after I applied to colleges.
