   A History of Modern Computing, Second Edition by Paul E. Ceruzzi (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262532037/a-history-of-modern-c...) is a joy to read and a masterpiece, only second to The Dream Machine imho.

   He has a new book on the topic, A New History of Modern Computing (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262542906/a-new-history-of-mode...) but unfortunately, I have not read it yet.

   The textbooks I used in university were "From Airline Reservations to Sonic the Hedgehog: A History of the Software Industry" (Campbell-Kelly) and "A History of Modern Computing (second edition)" (Ceruzzi). There is a brand-new update to the second one, "A New History of Modern Computing" (Haigh/Ceruzzi) that I'm looking forward to reading this summer.
