Try &quot;Computing: a Concise History&quot; by Paul Ceruzzi is inexpensive.<p>Best bet is visit the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.<p>There is &quot;A New History of Modern Computing&quot; that came out last year by Ceruzzi and Thomas Haight (I have not read it).

Some good books on the topic are &quot;The Soul of a New Machine&quot; by Tracy Kidder or &quot;The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit&quot; by Sherry Turkle. As for the podcast, I’ve heard good things on &quot;The Bits from Bytes History of Computing Podcast&quot; by Richard Haynes.
