Steve Wozniak is surely one of our great technologists but he is not a great writer (even with the cited co-author/ghost writer who should have done better). For the most part, this book is not written for the average reader and I suspect even the average Apple devotee might find it tough going. It probably appeals most to the Apple fan who is also a hardcore geek and wants to dive into the details of how things worked and the pitfalls along the way. Although there is an effort to explain some of the jargon to include a good glossary at the back (but strangely no index?), much of the book is rather tedious and in the weeds. Aside from the writing (which is conversational and generally about Middle School level), this book could have been much improved by a tough editor. All that said, if the average reader (who is neither an Apple fan or detractor but is interested in the development of the computer industry) can persevere, there are some interesting anecdotes that make the book worthwhile.
