If you're interested in the history of Commodore, I thoroughly recommend the Commodore International Historical Society at https://commodore.international/ https://commodore.international/. Dave has pulled together many of the people who were there at the time. For example, here's an Amiga panel from the recent VCF East: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_AYDkuMg-U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_AYDkuMg-U

Thankfully, as it had plenty of cool ideas, many of which never got out of the Amiga into other platforms. Looking forward to watch these.
