My first thought was "I wonder if the C programming language would be on that list" and sure enough... Worth noting that, although the book is 45+ years old, it's aged incredibly well (I know, there have been multiple "patches" applied since the first edition). But considering how books that came out 5 years ago are wildly outdated today, while this one is just as relevant as it was when it first came out is a huge achievement. Major props to Ritchie and Kernighan.
I think my favorite old computing book is the tannenbaum operating systems text book. It features minix and has some super interesting things about the software license and all that. Minix has some super interesting recent history involving the intel management engine.
Even a collection pointing to classic AI books: <a href="https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/sec/14007/Artificial-Intelligence/" rel="nofollow">https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/sec/14007/Artificial-Int...</a>
