I wouldn't say Jobs was that important of a historical figure. He, at the end of the day, was a business man and good at marketing. I would find a biography of Wozniak more interesting since he actually did a lot of the early engineering at Apple and was the technical genius in the early days of Apple.
Essentially, I think Woz would have gone on to make a name for himself with or without Jobs. Jobs on the other hand, probably would have been a nobody without Woz.
- fdeage 5y agoI see your point, but I think history doesn't care about merit. Even if he was only the best phone seller in history, selling phone has become so important in our times that this achievement would still make him a historical figure IMO. Also, definitely not sure about Woz. He would probably have found a nice job, sure, but it's a far stretch to say he would have revolutionized as many industries as Apple did.
- yardie 5y agoWoz had an aircraft accident after the Apple II and kind of fell off the ball after that. So much so that Jobs had to go to Bill Gates to get some very necessary coding work completed. Woz had a brilliant but relatively short streak at being the top engineer of his time. Also, there is a autobiography of Woz, iWoz[0] [0] https://smile.amazon.com/iWoz-BYWozniak-Wozniak/dp/B006Q4IWXG https://smile.amazon.com/iWoz-BYWozniak-Wozniak/dp/B006Q4IWX...
