Patrick Lawlor
Before cell phones that fit in the palm of your hand and slim laptops that fit snugly into briefcases, computers were like strange, alien vending machines. They had cryptic switches, punch cards, and pages of encoded output. But in 1975, a young engineering wizard named Steve Wozniak had an idea: what if you combined computer circuitry with a regular typewriter keyboard and a video screen? The result was the first true personal computer, the Apple I, a widely affordable machine that anyone could understand and figure out how to use.
Wozniak's life before and after Apple is a "home-brew" mix of brilliant discovery and adventure, as an engineer, a concert promoter, a fifth-grade teacher, a philanthropist, and an irrepressible prankster. From the invention of the first personal computer to the rise of Apple as an industry giant, iWoz presents a no-holds-barred, rollicking, firsthand account of the humanist inventor who ignited the computer revolution.

Where does iWoz rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Its not the best, but its far from bad.What did you like best about this story?
Woz manages to put a very positive spin on everything, and encourages the reader (listener?) to also have a positive outlook. Some of it gets bogged down by the tech talk, but I personally love computer science and that aspect only added enjoyment for me.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The reader did a good job. The only thing I had a problem with was the editing. You could clearly hear the punch in points.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Many parts were very funny, especially the recounting of Woz's many pranks and jokes.Any additional comments?
It's well worth your time to listen to this if you have any interest whatsoever about computer science, or electrical engineering. Even if your not a fan of Apple (like myself).Great story with plenty of tech talk!
