Does anyone have any recommendations for books on the history of computing? True stories and ripping yarns, from the ENIAC days through to the early 2000s? Open source, mainframe, Unix memoirs most welcome.

@danny There's Brian Kernighan's "UNIX: A History and a Memoir", which literally has "UNIX" and "memoir" in title. It's also a memoir from one of the people associated with creation of UNIX.

@jautero this is exactly what I was after. Much appreciated.
