There were comments around this thread with book recommendations (good thing I still had the page opened in firefox on mobile).

How come is it gone ?

- The Soul of the New Machine

- Where wizards stay up late - The origins of the Internet

- The Idea factory: the great age of american innovation (about Intel ?)

- The Iridium story: Eccentric orbits (Satellite tech)

- Empires of light: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse and the race to electrify the world

- Skunk works

- the chip how two americans invented the microchip and launched a revolution

That one is about Intel. The idea factory is about Bell.
