i'll see your book and raise you one, "turing's cathedral" covers the origins of computers from the Aberdeen Proving Grounds to Princeton and Los Alamos, leading up to the ENIAC and how von Nuemann used it to simulate the detonation of the hydrogen bomb, how the shockwaves would reflect off the interior of the shell to reach the pressure to kick off fusion. the narratives of people and machines are well balanced for an entertaining read.
