I, Woz by Steve Wozniak

I, Woz by Steve Wozniak

"I, 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.

'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 aloneHe might have added: "be generous" -- it's the way he's led his life' -- Sydney Morning Herald '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 'Fascinating' -- The Times 'An honest but quirky biography' -- City A.M.

Steve Wozniak was the sole designer of the Apple I and Apple II. After being awarded the National Medal of Technology in 1985, he won the Heinz Award for Technology, the Economy and Employment for 'single-handedly designing the first personal computer'. He now runs his own company and has his own website www.woz.org. Gina Smith, who helped Steve write his book, is the former Technology Correspondent for ABC News and an award-winning journalist.
