Only because I happen to just starting reading this 4 books [0-3] motohagiography (word-depipction-of-saints?), and until 2-3 weeks ago I am ashamed to say I didn't even know who that was:
Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
[0-3]: Antifragile, The Black Swan, Fooled By Randomness, The Bed of Procrustes
Same Taleb. I recommend reading his books back to front because he's clearly difficult to edit and starting at the end means you don't have to go through the process of listening to him sound his ideas out. Most non-fiction works that way. If you only read his "Bed of Procrustes," and a selection of his technical papers, you'd be both better off, and following most of his advice.
A hagiography is a story that exalts the life of a saint. An "autohagiography," is what some writers call a shamelessly self-aggrandizing memoir. Motohagiography was a play on writing about motorcycles in a self-aggrandizing way, but could be extended to other technology. But thank you for giving it some thought!
