iWOZ How I Invented the Personal Computer and Had Fun Along the Way

" Woz," or Steve Wozniak, the eternally optimistic wizard who, along with Steve Jobs, gave birth to Apple Computer, shares his life story in a wide-eyed, positive tone. Patrick Lawlor brings the perfect level of " California nerd cool" to the proceedings, unabashedly funneling Woz's enthusiasm into the recording. One of technology's great wags-to-riches stories (the author is an inveterate practical joker), iWoz provides not only an entertaining, lively memoir but an insightful view of a modern inventor whose mind never stops working. Be prepared for some tech talk that may whiz over your head, but it's never long before the story picks up again. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]
