Steve Jobs - Great read about of the founder of Apple. This was my first audio book and I binged it in about a week. Understanding Job's philosophy on "It Just Works" led me to wanting to be a better designer. Hes a complicated man and his legacy changed computers as we know them forever.

Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture - This is a fantastic listen about the guys who created the game Doom. Even if you are not interested in game development, it is a great story. It will takes you through the early days of computers and hacker culture. I try to listen to this one once a year for pure entertainment and I always end up learning something new I missed.

iWoz: How I Invented the Personal Computer and Had Fun Along the Way -
The other side of the Apple story from Steve Wozniak's perspective. It contains many details that Jobs book missed. A great listen if you want to hear both side of how Apple was created.
