Blurb: Before slim laptops that fit into briefcases, computers looked like strange, alien vending machines. But in “the most staggering burst of technical invention by a single person in high-tech history” (BusinessWeek) Steve Wozniak invented the first true personal computer. Wozniak teamed up with Steve Jobs, and Apple Computer was born, igniting the computer revolution and transforming the world. In iWoz the mischievous genius with the low profile treats readers to a rollicking, no-holds-barred account of his life―for once, in the voice of the wizard himself.
Review: Full transparency here, I finished this book more than a month ago but never rushed to review it. It was not one I was in a hurry to recommend to anyone. While not a waste of time by any means, it also was, well, meh.
I got this book because I saw he was going to be speaking in Evansville a while back. I wound up not making it to that event, so the book got backburnered. Still, I had it, so I read it. While the history nerd, and actual nerd, in me enjoyed aspects of the life that is Woz, the book came across mostly as “aw shucks, isn’t this stuff neat”, in the first person telling of the tech whiz behind one of the largest companies in existence now.
If you are a tech geek, ever had a subscription to Wired Magazine, soldered circuits or phone freaked any at all, first off, take you metamucil, and second, yeah, you can consider reading this one.
