Woz on Creativity: Work Alone
I feel this quote is unfair taken out of context of the rest of the book. iWoz was an interesting read. What surprised me about it is I came away feeling like Woz feels like a victim in many ways and he's got a skewed outlook on the world. When you feel that perspective from the book, this quote takes on a different meaning. At least it did to me. It feels more arrogant and self serving. I got the feeling that Woz thinks the world in general doesn't appreciate him, and so he used this book (and this quote) to try and force the idea that he is a true genius. Which is sad, because, well, he <i>is</i> a true genius.<p>For what it's worth I'm finding it hard to put my reaction to iWoz in words. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it. I'm pretty sure you will also come away with an interesting new perspective on the person that Steve is.
