iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon by Steve Wozniak Book Summary

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. Loved it! As an Apple shareholder from the early days, through splits and dividends and then through the dark days of Apple, I appreciate the personally portrayed historical account of Steve's journey. I also appreciate the fact that his creations have been at my finger-tips well over 20 years. THANKS for a good read, and also for a good ride!! Tomcat 1/14/2013

Well worth your time. The iWoz book was very interesting, inspiring and had me full of laughter at times. Definitely a great read and well worth it on iBooks.

The Model Engineer. Very interesting book by a fascinating guy! He created unequaled computer that changed our world. A real person filled with compassion and a solid ethical base, complete with a sense of humor. The world needs more people like him.

Excellent Read. As an  fan boy this review might sound bias but I truly enjoyed reading Steve Wosniak's book. I recommend this book to all the tech geeks out there but especially the ones going to college to study computer programming. All the computer terminology that your learning in school will be present in this read and that will make it more enjoyable and will benefit you. So not only is it an interesting read but also educational. The book will have you hooked.

Inspiring. I was one of the 10 year olds who got stared programming on a friend's Apple ][ right around 79-80. I remember reading everything I could until I finally got my own Atari computer in 81. Very nice to hear the full story from someone with the personality of Woz. A great human being.

Attitude in life.. With everything I read in this book what I loved the most and will always stick with me is the positive and free minded attitude Steve has. Now to apply this to my life. Thank you Steve.

Amazing !. Although the book is too technical in some chapters, it provides an amazing insight of Steve Wozniak's time before, during and after Apple. A must read for all Apple fans out there ..

iWoz. Great story and so candid. Thanks for sharing such an exceptional invention. I had an apple IIe as my first computer and I now feel privalged.

Great story. Steve comes across totally genuine. I was immersed in his book, like you were there. What a wonderful life, and so true to himself.

Excellent read!. Woz's view of Apple, his role in it, and his view of the world in general are spelled out in simple terms here. It was a great read following Job's biography. It's neat to read how differently the two of them saw Apple and their respective places in its founding.

Interesting. You gotta love Wos! He is a brilliant computer engineer in a kid's body.

Amazing Read. I loved reading this book from start to finish. It's such a great story from Steve's point of view. I would definitely suggest this book, especially to other computer science majors.

Not as good as I expected..... Being a fan of Apple I was looking for the business history and life story. This book was overly technical. There just has to be more to the Woz's life and it just left me hanging.

Woz Rocks!. Loved this book, thank you so much Woz for writing it, and thank you for changing the world for the better.

Good book, great Man!. This book is about a man's journey and how he views his journey. A reflection on a life and the choice made. This is not the greatest book ever, but it is a great journey. A journey from a curios child to an adult still just has curios. Wozniak is smart, funny and very interesting. From building the Apple I to organizing a music concert, Wozniak does it all his way, a truly original.

A Warm and Wonderful Human Being--. That's Wozniak. It was a pleasure reading your book!

Life insights. It is a good book, especially for people who are intelligent but trust too much -- this book talks about life being not always perfect -- there are dishonest people and people who would want to get rich and get Head by any means. For people who are intelligent but trust too much, this book offers some good life lessons.

Great Book!. Very much enjoyed reading this book! Well written and very informative! By the way, I am writing this review on an IPad4, another great Apple product! Thanks!

iWoz Review. This book was absolutely hysterical!!! Wozniak's sense of humor is paralleled only by his genius IQ. Understandably, Steve kept some details out of iWoz so as to keep it upbeat, funny, and focused more on his story rather than the other Steve biography. Don't be discouraged Woz. We all know you were the one and only responsible for creating Apple's computers. But there's one thing I found astounding despite such earnest storytelling that Wozniak described in later chapters regarding Apple computers and security. It's a problem not yet remedied today by Apple or Microsoft for that matter. He claimed he was able to use an Apple PC logged online without even an active firewall (which in and of themselves are useless but that's besides the point) without risk of remote access or viruses and malware. Because of this, you lost a star and some credibility. I'd love for Woz to elaborate more on Apple security because quite frankly, I'm failing to experience anything different from Apple security than I was with Microsoft products.

iWoz. This is a wonderful and inspirational book. Woz comes across as a free spirit with a creative mind that knew no boundaries. I'm not an engineer but I have ideas that can change the world. Woz has inspired me to dig in and get them done.

Like sitting with Woz for a chat.... This books reads as if Woz himself was simply chatting with you about his past. Charming and insightful, it leaves the reader with a sense of intimacy that I did not expect. While there is a great deal of technical discussion within the book, Woz explains everything so beautifully that by the end of the book, you feel as if you really *know* how computers work. While obviously born to be an engineer, he is clearly a natural teacher as well, and no where is that more strongly reflected than in this book. An excellent read for anyone; highly recommended!

Great book!. This book is great and it comes from the other co founder of Apple so you get a different point of view of how the company started. I can tell from reading this that you can understand some parts better if you have some computer background but this is only when Woz goes into detail about some of his creations but most of the book is entertaining and makes you want to keep reading.

IWoz. Honest, open, caring. I read about a humble, fun loving genius and I thought the book was a fine read.
