nytimes has been covering AI related articles a lot since the OpenAI drama. I find the writing accessible and great introduction to subject. Similar articles have been written in media such as bloomberg (what is code?), new yorker (duo who made google).<p>So HN, tell me some excellent tech articles you have come across and read for general public in popular media?
A couple of books...

#2 - Fire In The Valley - Paul Freiberger & Michael Swaine (Mc Graw Hill) Each chapter explains the importance of individuals and companies during the early days of personal computers.
