I have both books (each now over 20 years old), but I think "Casting the Net" is a slightly more rigorous and somewhat less "journalisty" history with a better collection of diagrams and scribbles by the key figures involved.

It's not solely about the internet but does an awesome job covering the rise of the PC industry and the launch of the internet.
