iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It
iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It | Steve Wozniak
3 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
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. Here, thirty years later, 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."

Pickpick

I really enjoyed reading about Steve Wozniak. Knowing that he was not only a genius, bit also a prankster made this a fun read. At times I felt is was repetitive, especially with the development of the blue box in the earlier chapters. Overall, it was a good read. I also finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I had heard about it and I finally read it. I loved it. I wasn't expecting it to be a page turner, but it was for me.
