Description
The Apple co-founder tells his own story — joyfully. iWoz is the New York Times bestselling autobiography of Steve Wozniak, the legendary engineer who co-founded Apple and single-handedly designed the Apple I and Apple II — the machines that launched the personal computer revolution.
Written with journalist Gina Smith in Woz’s warm, funny, unfailingly generous voice, it moves from a childhood spent taking radios apart and building ham radios with his engineer father, through the legendary Homebrew Computer Club meetings where he first demoed his designs, to the fateful partnership with Steve Jobs — and the inside story of how two friends in a garage built the company that changed the world. Woz is disarmingly honest about the friendship, the falling-out, and what he values now.
Far from a dry business memoir, this is a joyful celebration of engineering as play — and a necessary corrective to every myth that airbrushes the engineer out of Apple’s origin story. Woz’s enthusiasm is infectious on every page.
