I would really like to see an updated history that takes up where this left off. Highlights of the past 40 years: the formation of the Common Lisp specification, the role of Lisps in AI, Symbolics vs Lisp Machines Inc, their eventual demise in the AI winter, continued use in DSLs like Autocad and Emacs, and the small but growing resurgence in interest.
