Book: How the Mac was made

Revolution in the Valley

Someone on one of the Podcasts I've been listening to lately mentioned a book written by the creator of folklore.org, Andy Hertzfeld. Revolution In The Valley: The Insanely Great Story of How the Mac Was Made tells the story of the early days at Apple. For many years now Andy as been collecting and publishing on folklore.org numerous anecdotes about the development of Apple's original computer, and the people who created it. As well as from Andy himself these great 'stories' come from characters such as Steve jobs, Steve Wozniak, Burrell Smith, Bud Tribble, Jef Raskin and many more of the amazing people who worked at Apple in the early years. Brought together in this book all these amazing snippets are used to plot the history and tell the story, from the people who were there when it happened, of how the Mac was made. I'm only about half way through so far but am finding it a great book, and recommend it to anyone interested in the Apple or history of technology.
