iWoz: A Lesson In Egomania
So I bought the audio book iWoz. It’s an autobiography by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer. I should have known what I was getting into by reading the full title: iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It. From the title on, Steve never stops telling you how important he was, how smart he is, and all the great things he invented that you didn’t– because he’s just that much smarter than you. Gag me with a spoon!
It was really hard enduring the first hour of the book. If I had to read the print version, I’m sure I’d have tossed it out my window before the second chapter. It got to a point in between him telling me all the blue ribbons he won at science fairs and how he was the only one in the world who could do x, y, or z, that I had to shut off part one, and go to part two. It was a bit better, but not by much.
