iWoz: How I Invented the Personal Computer and Had Fun Along the Way Audiobook

" It's a good insight into Wozniaks' thinking process. And it's clear Apple couldn't have happened without Wozniak. The man is a genius engineer. However, there is not a single business bone in him, and it's equally fair to say Apple would have never happened if it wasn't for the other Steve. If it was up to this Steve, he would have been thrilled to build an Apple II, show it off a bunch of engineers, and continue making calculators for HP. This book also makes to think about the Engineering mindset. While it's great and it's what makes the world work, I feel that they are kinda time-bound, and expire quicker than other kinds of ideas / brains. For instance, Steve Jobs could always use his knowledge and insight of what sells to keep selling various stuff over decades, Steve Wozniak, with all the technical knowledge and brain power that was capable of reverse engineering display signals, writing OS, device drivers and games overnight, and yet that brain decided that the next big thing is going to be universal remote controllers?!! See what I mean? Yet, with all this, I am big fan of Steve Wozniak. "

" if you're a nerd or maybe the parent of a budding nerd, this is possibly essential reading. Obviously transcribed and edited from verbal interviews, the writing feels like it really captures the essence of this brilliant, kind, funny man. I've always been a Woz fangirl so I really enjoyed it. "

" It is nice to read about someone that loves what they do. He comes off a little boastful and I did not like that. As far as a book it was not very deep or engaging. "

" There was some very interesting geeky stuff in here like Steve's phreaking experiences and the such... but the reader of the audio book was so incredibly annoying. It sucks because it was hard not to want to imitate his reading style throughout the book and distracted from the cool parts a bit. Overall though, an interesting book. Really has me curious to dive into the upcoming Steve Jobs bio. "

" Great biography of the most famous Computer Engineer in Computer Science history. I highly recommand to all who are interested in evolution of computers and want to spent some enjoyable moments with iWoz's funny stories from his life. "

" Very enjoyable. Steve Wozniak is a brilliant mind and tells a pretty good story. This book only made me appreciate his process and goals even more. "

" Lovelsy stuff "

" I would never have chance to become such a genius engineer like Woz, but I can try to be a nice and warmhearted person like him. "

" Woz was definite Ying to Jobs Yang. The book is good in that it a different perspective of Apple than the many " Jobsian" views that are out there.if you want to read about the " human side" in Apple, Steve Wozniak was the one carrying that torch. "

" I was surprised to enjoy it as much as I did. funny and interesting. "

" I liked the stories in this book, as I generally very much admire Steve Wozniak. However, the book is written rather haphazardly, and has repeated segments. "

" Even though at times it comes off as self aggrandizing, it gives an intimate detail of this piece of late 20th Century history and it entertains. "

" Great guy, great inspiring tale, not so greatly written "

" He's such a nice boy. "

" very good i love the clear for ideas and inspiration for it "

" It wasn't particularly well written, but it painted a life story in the stereotypical way that an engineer might tell it. Don't expect a prize winning literary work. It is, however, a honest story told honestly. "

" This was a great book to hear via audio book. It was good to hear Steve Wozniak set the story straight on some of the things portrayed in the media about Apple. I loved learning some of the Apple/Microsoft history in the made for TV movie, The Pirates of Silicone Valley. "

" This book is really interesting. Steve Wozniak definitely tells it like he sees it and he sees himself as an amazing human being (and he is) but if you can get past that you will enjoy it from an historical prospective as well as providing a few nuggets of inspiration here and there. "

" Amazing stuff, really inspiring for geeks like me "

" Great look inside Woz's head. The narrator was a very convincing voice for Woz. At times, he came off as arrogant, but with good reason. Very much a "set-the-story-straight" memoir. Interesting look at his childhood and the founding of Apple...good insight into Engineering principles. "

" I enjoyed this book. It's always fun to get a glimpse into to the minds of those that have a dream and act on it with no idea what the outcome will be.<br/> "

" Many parallels with some of Feynman's work in their relationships with their dads as teachers and there curiosity towards life. A worthy read. "
