iWoz

iWoz is the delightful account of Steve Wozniak’s inquisitive childhood, his love affair with technology, eventual friendship with Steve Jobs and the consequent founding of Apple Computer.

Wozniak is the real deal. A truly amazing engineer skilled at making the most of modest resources. His designs - and his economy with chips - in the Apple I and II are legendary. The book is full of engaging stories about the Dial-a-joke modem service Wozniak ran for many years, his experience with phone phreaking, his stint at HP and much more.

If you’ve heard the story of Apple’s founding from the Steve Jobs lens, this book will give you an alternate perspective. Highly recommended.
