iwoz

Managed to complete reading iWoz this weekend. The downtime with a severe cold and the absence of a television helped me wipe the dust of some of the books lying around.

The book is a definite read for many of the engineers out there who would love to remain engineers for their lives. The story of Steve Wozniak is definitely intriguing. It also validates my beliefs that no one is born a genius but rather born into it. The circumstances surrounding your childhood, more especially the things that are exposed to you then determine your path for the rest of your life.

The literature buffs may find repetition and overlaps consistently. It seems like a book organised out of disorganised post-its rather than a complete autobiography. Some may find the lack of humility or modesty in the prose but when it comes to a person like Steve Wozniak I guess there are few that could question the claims he makes.

All in all a must-read for an engineer out there. Have fun.
