Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were always a peculiar pairing. Polar opposites in so many ways. This autobiography really emphasizes the differences between the Apple co-founders.

Wozniak is undoubtedly brilliant. His early computer designs and his later work show that without a doubt. But without Jobs there to drive him forward I don't think any of his work would have reached the mass market.

Again and again in this book, Wozniak came across as very naive. Almost unable to understand the drives of greed, arrogance or selfishness that are everywhere. In every case where he was wronged, he looks for some innocent explanation. When he says he would have been happy working at HP for his whole life, I believe him.

And that's why while I can recognize the brilliance in both men, I like Wozniak, and I never liked Jobs.

Although there was a co-writer, iWoz is very clearly in Wozniak's own words. Things jump around a bit as though he just thought of them and the phrasing matches closely to every interview I've heard with him.

It's refreshing. Most of these things are so heavily polished that you don't get a feel for the real person. That's not the case here and it makes for a much better read.
