Looking for great books around tech

~gas

Hello there bartender, a double espresso please.

My flatmate is an architect. From my point of view, architecture seems to be a field where culture is crucial. You have to inspire yourself from other works. Thus he has lots and lots of books on architecture, books that he often reads, granting him a broad knowledge over his field.

The thing is, I'm currently working in networking and most of the books seems to be technical books or how to pass a cert etc. I'm currently greatly interested about history around computers and networks. I've seen (not yet read) books like 'The Idea Factory' (about Bell Labs) or 'Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet'. Do some of you have some other great recs please ? I know it's not a Computer forum but most of us here on the gemini space have an interest in this area.

See you around !

This might be the first time I wish I could subscribe to a post and its replies. Thank you for the books you listed, I will come back and check any replies (if I remember).
