Product Description

Review

‘I, Woz is essential reading, not just because of the great prose or because it makes revelations…it’s real value lies in the reflections of the man who sparked the computer revolution…I, Woz offers lessons for the next generation: believe in yourself, make do, be honest and work alone. He might have added: “be generous” – it’s the way he’s led his life’

(Sydney Morning Herald )

'Fascinating'

 

(The Times )


Product Description

After 25 years of avoiding the public eye, Steve Wozniak breaks his silence and tells the full story of the Apple computer, from its conception to his views on the iconic cult status it enjoys today.
But for Steve's dream to build himself a computer, Apple would never have happened. In June, it was just an idea. By that Christmas, he'd built something that his friend convinced him to sell, just for fun. The rest, as they say, is history. But this history is full of life lessons, critical decisions, huge triumphs and big mistakes, and all from a self-professed 'engineer's engineer'. 
Steve talks about his childhood, phone hacking pranks, working at Hewlett-Packard, the life-changing plane crash and teaching. I, WOZ offers readers a unique glimpse into the offbeat and brilliant but ethical mind that conceived the Macintosh. With the help of award-winning journalist Gina Smith, Steve sets the record straight.

By Mr. Nicholas Kemp (leeds, west yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a truly inspiring and informative read charting how Steve Wozniak first started to create computers from an early age. Its fascinating ro read his other activities outside Appple and to read the "corrected versions" of his history.
Highly recommended

By S T (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I, Woz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon - Getting to the Core of Apple's Inventor (Paperback)
excellent book, but majority covering his early history and early history of apple.
Not much in there about what he has done since the mid 1980s.
