Have a look at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Diffusion-Innovations-5th-Everett-Rogers&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0743222091" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Diffusion-Innovations-5th-Everett-Rog...</a> It is not history, but I remember having read it from cover to cover and gaining a historic insight in the process
