This obsession started early.
At six, his father gave him a crystal radio kit.
When voices came through the earphones, something shifted inside him.
I had actually built something, he'd later write, something they didn't have.
He told his classmates about it, and he explained how it worked.
They had no idea what he was talking about.
None of them could do what he'd done.
He liked that feeling, but he quickly moved on to the next thing, writing, "'Okay, that's done.
What else can I do?'
By sixth grade, he'd found his hero, Tom Swift Jr., a fictional boy inventor who built submarines and spaceships, solving global crises with cutting-edge technology."
Steve would lie on his bedroom floor each night imagining himself as Tom Swift, building machines that would change the world.
One day in 1960, flipping through his father's engineering journal, 10-year-old Wozniak found an article about Enoch, the world's first computer.
A room-sized monster with thousands of vacuum tubes.
But what captivated him was a single paragraph of boolean algebra.
building thinking into machines using only ones and zeros.
What happened next, Wozniak called the dream.
He realized that computers might soon fit in your house.
Not yet, but soon.
That vision became the driving force behind everything.
The math was simple, so simple a high schooler could learn it.
