Iwoz: How I Invented the Personal Computer And Had Fun Along the Way

Gina Smith, Steve Wozniak
description
In this memoir, Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple computers, tells his side of the story of the intense and exhilarating effort in the 1970s to turn an idea--the personal computer--into a viable reality. He and Steve Jobs, sometimes working out of a garage, did just that with the Apple I and then the Apple II, a forerunner of the Macintosh. Their unprecedented success changed America and the world, and made Wozniak a wealthy man. Here, he describes how it all happened, and also writes about his life after Apple, including his philanthropic pursuits, conveying a zest for life as he exemplifies the advice to "follow your bliss."
