Computing: A Concise History (The MIT Press… door Paul E. Ceruzzi
The content was pretty light but okay. The audiobook narrator was terrible. He mispronounced many names: John von Neumann, Nobert Wiener, Donald Knuth, DEC, NASA?!? ("Nassau"); nails on a blackboard. I'm disappointed there apparently was no quality control for the audio production.
Very interesting, well-written history of Tyson's Corner!
I read the 1st edition which covers from approximately 1945 through 1995, from the ENIAC to Mosaic. Follows the history of computing in the United States along mainly commercial and military lines as opposed to academic.

Nice, short and engaging book with a few interesting illustrations and sleek design. It says a concise history but it touches upon a miriad of topics in brief.There are some details that are dimmed in the pop version of the history that Ceruzzi brings to our attention.
