[SIGCIS-Members] Introducing myself

[Paul Edwards]

All -

I'm getting ready to teach an undergrad course (juniors and seniors)  
on "History of Computers and the Internet" for the first time in 7  
years.

I'm looking for suggestions on three things:

1) A recent book on the history of personal computers that's well- 
written and exciting for undergrads. I used to use Fire in the Valley,  
but that's very dated now.

2) On history of the Internet, I've been using Janet Abbate's  
Inventing the Internet for years. It's a great book but somewhat  
inaccessible for undergrads, and now a bit dated.

3) Books or articles -- again, exciting for undergrads -- on history  
of the WWW. Please, not Tim Berners-Lee's awesomely self-centered  
memoir.

Thanks for any and all.

- Paul
