What are the must-read computer folklore books? I have two: "Abstracting Away The Machine", the history of the first Fortran compiler (plus a bit more). A fascinating view of the attitudes of early programmers (where even using an assembler was discouraged for being a waste of machine time, and that a compiler would never create efficient code), plus what Backus' team did to prove them wrong. "The Soul Of A New Machine", of how Data General developed a competitor for the VAX by hiring a team of college graduates and exploiting them to the bone. The project succeeded, and saved the company for a while, but I certainly would not have liked to work there. Others?

I like the recommendation for "The Soul of a New Machine", by Tracy Kidder. One of my all-time favorite books! My recommendations: 1) UNIX: A History and a Memoir, by Brian Kernighan. He self-published this in 2019, and it's an intriguing look at the culture of AT&T Bell Labs that spawned C and Unix. I learned that typesetting played a big driver in the growth of Unix. 2) The Story of Commodore: A Company on the Edge, by Brian Bagnall. Unfortunately, this book looks out of print, but I read it in 2007 and it left a strong impression on me. History is written by the winners, so we know all the history of Microsoft and Apple but Commodore could have been a winner. The book shows just how different things were back in 70s and 80s, how wide open the industry was. Very fascinating! -- Rick Umali / rickumali.com

Folklore would be apocryphal stories like the ones about Mel, real programmers, the cookie monster, and the like. Stories that "grew in the telling," ones that "a friend of a friend" swears is true. History is of course fact-based, well-researched with (hopefully) references and cites, and stories told by the principals. I have haphazardly been collecting a bibliography of computer history and folklore. At the moment it is completely unorganized. Perhaps I could pull out the top fifty or so most notable titles. >I have two: >"Abstracting Away The Machine", the history of the first Fortran >"The Soul Of A New Machine", of how Data General developed a People making book recommendations should at least include the author(s).

I came late to programming -- age 45 -- and started with an already
obsolete Osborne I because I could get it on an even swap for a
hand-raised copper cook pot. Before I moved on to MS-DOS six years
later and then to Unix and Linux, I learned Z80, BASIC, C and a little
Lisp and supported two people who wrote master's theses on Osbornes
I'd accumulated, refurbished and loaned to them.
So I was intrigued by:
Hyper-Growth -- The Rise and Fall of Osborne Computer Corporation
Adam Osborne & John Dvorak
Idthekkethan Publishing, 1984
The paperback edition (1985) has an additional forward by Adam
Osborne.

And that's this one:
%A Tracy Kidder
%T The Soul of a New Machine
%I Penguin Books
%D 1983
I have that one (two copies) and the following. None of them are
about history per se, but all are in some sense historical.
This one is a bit similar; it's about a disaster project at Microsoft
during the late Windows 3.1 era:
%A Fred Moody
%T I sing the body electronic:
a year with Microsoft on the multimedia frontier
%D 1995
%I Hodder and Stoughton
%C London
This is more about ways of working, but the examples range back to the
1950s:
%A Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.
%T The mythical man-month: Essays on software engineering
%I Addison-Wesley
%D 1995
%O Anniversary edition with four new chapters
A rare example of swedish books on programming, pre-home computer era.
I think its purpose was mostly to educate the public, but it's obvious
that it's written by a programmer. He teaches some FORTRAN.
%A Gunnar Hellström
%T Programmering av datamaskiner
%S W&Wserien
%V 166
%I Wahlström & Widstrand
%C Stockholm
%D 1967
Teaches a variant of the Unix philosophy; contains bits of text from
various people who were involved in the 1970s and 1980s. Available
online.
%A Eric Steven Raymond
%T The Art of Unix Programming
%S Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series
%I Addison-Wesley
%D 2004

But another has to be the Gordon Bell book, "Computer Engineering", which traces DEC from it's beginnings up as far as about 1980. Little on the VAX, but all thge PDPs are there. -- Using UNIX since v6 (1975)... Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org
