Macintosh Books

Book SynopsisI, 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.Trade Review'Fascinating' * The Times *'A compelling, first-hand account' * Daily Telegraph *'Full of detail and charm' * The Times *'[An] oddly endearing autobiography... written in a cheery, artless style' * FT magazine *'A small triumph' * Sunday Times *'An honest but quirky biography' * City A.M. *'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.
