Highly recommend A History of Modern Computing [1]. Starting with the ENIAC in the '40s through the successive generations of computing technology in the 20th century, it gives a fantastic overview of the field's history. Sadly, now that I look into it, it looks like it's out of print. There are a few copies available on Amazon, so act now! [1] https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/history-modern-computing
