“‘The Woz’ built the first [personal computer]—by hand, by himself.”—USA Today

Before slim laptops that fit into briefcases, computers looked like strange vending machines, with cryptic switches and pages of encoded output.

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.
