Book Review: iWoz

On October 12, 2006, in Book Reviews and Recommendations, by Mitch Milam

iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It.

If you are a computer industry history buff like me, this will fill in a good deal of the behind the scenes data regarding the founding of Apple and how Steve Wozniak created the Apple I and Apple II computers.

While I have read much of this information elsewhere, Woz tells his side of the story and includes details that had either been previously unpublished or had been reported incorrectly.

As a matter of fact, Woz himself states that he wrote this book was to set the record straight.

While iWoz does offer a bit of insight into how an engineer thinks and works, there is really only one chapter that offers any real advice for would-be engineers and entrepreneurs.  Regardless, I found the book interesting and a fairly good read.
