I got this book https://bookshop.org/p/books/what-the-dormouse-said-how-the-sixties-counterculture-shaped-the-personal-computer-industry-john-markoff/11692127?ean=9780143036760 off a whim - I'm always curious to learn about computing decades before me because those things (for better or worse, mostly worse) influence how and where we go next. Like, imagine if Microsoft never existed? Or HP? Or even something as core to the US government like Xerox? It doesn't cover that, but it's easier to imagine and speculate about with more historical context.
