Ask HN: What should I read next?
8 comments
I have Issacson’s The Innovators in queue but haven’t started it yet. The following I’ve read:
Hackers by Levy, Soul of the Machine by Kidder, The Cuckoo’s Egg by Stoll, Turing’s Cathedral by Dyson
All are older but give a good perspective of the early days of the computer revolution.

When We Ceased to Understand the World by Benjamin Labtaut
Unix: A History and a Memoir By Brian Kernighan
Notes from Underground
Mosaic (first web browser) source code.
The Idea Factory by Jon Gertner.
Liked the tech history story-time vibe a lot more than I was expecting.
Looking for something similar or slightly more hacky ("hacky") whatever that might mean.
