• It's informative, inspiring, and hilarious.
  I was looking to find out how much was true of Pirates of Silicon Valley when I came across this book. I'm not a fan of Apple, but I am a person who enjoys history of many sorts, and I am close to getting a degree in Engineering Technology.
  It's just a great read. There are many interesting things in here about history, such as his thoughts on Vietnam. He talks about his design decisions in simple terms. He describes in detail the most hilarious pranks that had me laughing aloud. I even learned a few... more info

  I read the Second Coming of Steve Jobs, which showed how a man can be a cutthroat and succeed.
  iWoz however, shows how a man can find success doing something he loves, and not get hung up on money or power.
  After initially reading the book I thought it was kind of blah, but after seeing more of Woz in person and in various bios, I truly appreciate how genius he truly... more info
