Would be good. Do you have anything specific to suggest?

I can throw in some of my personal favorites:

  • Turing's Cathedral - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0375422773/
  • Computing: A Concise History - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262517671/
  • The Computer Book: From Abacus to AI, 250 Milestones in the History of Computer Science - https://www.amazon.com/dp/145492621X/

@siriniok Most of my knowledge of history is from Wikipedia "History of" articles, which could be a good starting point.

e.g.

Histories, theories, and accomplishments in computer science can be learned through the timeline of computer history. By understanding visually it will be easy. The information below gives you the insights of computer science from (1937-2020).
