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.

Computer Geek to Cult Icon: Getting to the Core of Apple's Inventor

A 4 ans, Steve Wozniak apprend le fonctionnement d'un oscilloscope. A 7 ans, celui d'une résistance. A 11 ans, il construit son premier kit de radioamateur. Au lycée, il passe ses soirées à dessiner des schémas d'ordinateurs. Quelques années et inventions plus tard, il rencontre un type aussi dingue de programmation que lui, une âme soeur, c'est Steve Jobs. Ensemble, dans le plus pur style hacker, ils construisent une boîte qui permet de passer des appels téléphoniques gratuits. Puis, c'est Apple et l'Apple I, puis l'Apple II. Steve Wozniak nous révèle dans ce livre des choses très intéressantes : ses valeurs, son sens de l'éthique et ses relations avec Steve Jobs. Un livre indispensable pour comprendre trente longues années d'évolution informatique.

A New York Times Bestseller: "iWoz traces the life and times of a brilliant, gifted...individual whose contributions to the scientific, business and cultural realms are extensive." —Bookpage Before slim laptops that fit into briefcases, computers looked like strange, alien vending machines. But in "the most staggering burst of technical invention by a single person in high-tech history" (BusinessWeek) Steve Wozniak invented the first true personal computer. Wozniak teamed up with Steve Jobs, and Apple Computer was born, igniting the computer revolution and transforming the world. In iWoz the mischievous genius with the low profile treats readers to a rollicking, no-holds-barred account of his life—for once, in the voice of the wizard himself.

iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon

After 25 years of avoiding the public eye, Steve Wozniak breaks his silence and tells the full story of the Apple computer, from its conception to his views on the iconic cult status it enjoys today. But for Steve's dream to build himself a computer, Apple would never have happened. In June, it was just an idea. By that Christmas, he'd built something that his friend convinced him to sell, just for fun. The rest, as they say, is history. But this history is full of life lessons, critical decisions, huge triumphs and big mistakes, and all from a self-professed 'engineer's engineer'. Steve talks about his childhood, phone hacking pranks, working at Hewlett-Packard, the life-changing plane crash and teaching. I, WOZ offers readers a unique glimpse into the offbeat and brilliant but ethical mind that conceived the Macintosh. With the help of award-winning journalist Gina Smith, Steve sets the record straight.
