Publisher Description
I, WOZ offers readers a unique glimpse into the offbeat and brilliant but ethical mind that conceived the Macintosh. After 25 years avoiding the public eye, Steve Wozniak reveals the full story of the Apple computer, from its conception to his views on the iconic cult status it has achieved today. In June 1975 Steve's curiosity and determination inspired him to build a computer, the first Apple. Six months later, he sold the machine, and for the self-professed 'engineer's engineer', success was imminent. But this story is full of life lessons, critical decisions, huge triumphs and big mistakes. Steve speaks also of his childhood, phone hacking pranks, working at Hewlett-Packard, the life-changing plane crash and teaching.
Customer Reviews
Woz a great book
Describing Woz's life from childhood through to now, it is full of observations, philosophies and pranks as well as serious stuff relating to IT history.
Woz's enthusiastic, peaceful and fairly unique personality (which I highly recommend watching a few of his YouTube talks to experience) comes through in the writing and it is certainly not a sanitised books. Like it's author full of quirks and fun, nerdy, a mixed assortment that reflects Woz himself and you really feel you get to know and understand him, his motivations, perspectives and experiences.
