Nice to see the Multics book included on the Unix (related) list.
I'd like to see a non-Unix "alternative OS classics" list to supplement the Unix list.
Maybe a non-TCP/IP/Ethernet "alternative network classics" list as well.
Since these are mostly vintage (though nice reads) I'd also like to see a list of "modern (or future) systems classics" as well.

- trealira 3y agoIt's not about any OS in particular, but Per Brinch Hansen has a book called Classic Operating Systems: From Batch Processing To Distributed Systems, which showcases a lot of historically important essays in operating system history. The back of the book says it "includes a bibliography of about 60 operating systems". You can borrow it on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780387951133/mode/1up https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780387951133/mode/1up
