You’d think that since I work in the industry I’d like a book about its history. But I found this guy to be too meandering, and it introduced too many characters for my liking. Though not focused on history, I think something like Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software offers a far better way to interact parts of computing one may not be aware of.
Only got through ~1/3. Not recommended.
