My Desert Island Tech Books and Movies

The other day on Twitter, some friends and I were discussing the narrative books we like that are about technology (not technical books themselves). These are books about notable figures in the technology field, about the history of a specific technology, and so on. Here is my list of books that I consider must-reads for those techies out there that like this type of stuff (in no particular order).

If one of your favorite books is not on this list, please leave a comment as I would love to have more books to add to my list :).

The following ones are technically “must-watch” as they are videos, not books. But I find myself popping them in when I’m in one of those moods (and want some video playing in the background while I code).

Here are some more that are on my own must-read-this-in-the-future list, I just haven’t gotten around to buying and reading them yet…

And there you go, my opinions on what are some must-reads and must-watches for other geeks like me. Outside of computers, I’m not much of a history person. I’m not interested by ancient civilizations, the civil war (unless it involves the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers), or anything of the sort. But computer history? I love it and am incredibly fascinated by it.

Enjoy :).
