What's your fave non-fiction/biographies/etc. about programming and software? Personalities, stories, history.

Software, video games, and blockchains. Working on something new. Prev: Stardust.gg | Meta.com

More re: precursors to early programming but currently reading The Idea Factory (Gertner) about history of Bell Labs.

Idea Factory sounds awesome, I'll add it to my list
