The Dream Machine by M. Mitchell Waldrop [0].

One of the best books on the history of interactive computing, human-computer interaction, and networking, which are all connected in surprising and fascinating ways.

It's eye-opening how many things we take for granted were invented back in the 60s and 70s – and how many visionary ideas from that time still hold their value in this day and age.
