Summary
Michael Moritz traces the childhoods of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, their founding of Apple in 1976 and the company’s early growth. As a Time reporter, Moritz had access to Apple while writing the original 1984 account. This later edition revisits that history with a new perspective on Jobs and the company. It combines an early account of Apple with the author’s later view of what followed.
Why read it Our view
Read it to see an early company through an account written close to the events and revisited later. Compare what seemed important at the time with what later success made easier to see, then ask how you judge your own company’s early choices.
