I've always been interested in the history of technology. Or at least, ever since Sid Meier gave me a technology tree in Civilization. Along the way I collected a large number of books that helped shape how I thought about computing, and technology in general. Then I sat down to write a little book on the history of computers, just before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Next thing I knew, my little 300 to 400 page book was 500, then 1,000, and ultimately over 2,000 pages. That journey took me far outside the comfort of my own personal library, into the realm of a podcast, the hallowed halls of academia, museums, eBay (to get actual devices to see where I'd been misled by marketers), and off-air (and sometimes off-record) oral histories with some of people who wrote foundational code or texts about the nascent computing industry when it was young.

Once I started to write, I found myself pulling in more and more academic works. Therefore, I wanted to split this list of resources used into the ones used in the book itself, but then I also wanted to include those where they maybe didn't supply specific facts (named entities in machine learning-speak) but instead helped shape the philosophy behind it. And there is a philosophy, even if it changed between when the book was started and when it was finished. Although if there's one thing I've learned, over the course of updating facts for the past 6 years is that the history of technology has never changed faster. That might be new discoveries about ancient facts we had wrong, companies that got acquired, or technology that seemed dominant but by the publication of the book had already become outdated.

Ultimately, the book began with an idea that there were these moments that changed everything. Moments where a big discovery was made, or a device introduced - and that changed the world. That highlights the contributions of a few talented philosophers, scientists, and engineers. It's somewhat easier to tell that story, because there are less people to discuss. It's also an oversimplification, which is necessary when telling history. Don't put on blinders and you'll end up unable to keep a reader. The truth is that there's been a slow, steady, but building evolution in technology since those early humans discovered how to leverage the six types of simple machines.

I hate leaving all the people and resources that don't appear in the book - or this list. But it has to stop somewhere, and at 2,000 pages, the book already has to be split up. So the following chapter list is likely to be edited to indicate the updated titles/volumes of the finished work.

Special Thanks

A special thanks goes out to the good people at the Computer History Museum ( https://computerhistory.org ) and the Charles Babbage Institute at the University of Minnesota ( https://cse.umn.edu/cbi ) for making various works including oral histories, scanned representations of works, etc publicly accessible. Additionally, a special thanks to the Internet Engineering Task Force for retaining all old internet standards for transparency and to preserve the history of protocols as they evolved. The above resources have been critical for first and second source verification of facts.
