From: kevbieri on
I recently read The User Illusion by Tor Norretranders and wanted to
expand my knowledge in some of the topics he touches on.

Does anybody know of any good books that discuss the development of
information theory? And also, can anybody recommend a good book that
surveys the history of computing from a scientific perspective? Ie,
the evolution of the ideas that has led to the modern idea of
computing? Maybe thats a little broad, but thats what im aiming for.

Thanks for any help
