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.

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. They had cryptic switches, punch cards, and pages of encoded output.
