Just finished reading “Computing in the Middle Ages: A View From the Trenches 1955-1983“.
It is quite a candid and interesting book about the history of computing. It does not try to be comprehensive, and is more a biography of one of the persons who was involved in many of the early developments of computing. It is in no way a technical book, and it is read fairly easy. Quite nice as an antidote to the often written oversimplifications about who invented this or that.
