Well, I don't know if there is an exact antonym, but "biography" could be close. An autobiography is your life as written by you, and a biography is someone's life as written by someone else besides the subject.
There is no such thing as an antiautobiography or something like that... although, Orson Scott Card presents an interesting idea along those lines when he discusses what a "Speaker for the Dead" does...
If you have a different idea for what might be the opposite, go ahead and ask if there is a word for it in a different question.
