As the sole inventor of the Apple I and II computers, Wozniak has enjoyed wealth, fame, and the most coveted awards an engineer can receive, and he tells his story here for the first time. -
我是沃兹
个人电脑对世界的改变仍在继续…… 斯蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克正是这场变革的开始。 从个人电脑的发明到苹果公司的崛起,技术和商业上的成功,没能改变他淘气而又害羞的性格,更没能让他放弃对技术理想的坚持。尽管他的设计成就了最初的苹果电脑公司,但是与乔布斯性格上的天壤之别,还是让他离开了苹果。没有人知道沃兹的离去是个人电脑发展的幸运,还是不幸。无论如何,一个电脑天才最终成为了新技术商业化的冷眼旁观者。 书中,沃兹从自己的视角回顾了那段绚烂的岁月。透过调侃的语言和轻松的笔调,一段交织着理想和现实、憧憬与迷茫、快乐与悲情的浪漫故事展现在每个读者面前。那种纯粹的创业精神,让每个人感动。 而曾为乔布斯撰写传记的艾伦说:“他(沃兹)的叙述是值得等待的——它为个人电脑革新起源这一历史增添了新的迷人一页。”
