Obviously computer-centered, but I strongly recommend "The Computing Universe" by Tony Hey and Gyuri Pápay.
While obviously touching Alan Turing's contribution, it doesn't just call it at day, but goes in detail on the history of networking, of memory, of the web, of "personal computers" companies, with tons of little asides on specific contributors, or projects.
