Book description
This is the story of how the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll generation
changed the world for ever. Meet the Crazy Ones who created Silicon
Valley - the hippies who started the Homebrew Computer Club; the young
ad executive who first sketched out Apple's iconic logo; the engineers
who met lying down in a cardboard geodesic dome at Stanford
University. From Steve Wozniak, who built the first breakthrough Apple
computers, to Jony Ive, the young Brit who imagined the iPod - the
designers and programmers, the geeks, creatives and dreamers, they are
all here.
And at the centre of it all, a bearded and barefoot Steve Jobs,
whose singular vision would will Apple Inc. into a future that it
would come to own .
