+1. Came to recommend the same.

I’ve searched for every Engelbart-related book I can find, and this has been my favorite by far.



_Bootstrapping: Douglas Engelbart, Coevolution, and the Origins of Personal Computing_ by Thierry Bardini

https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0804738718/ref=nosim...


I've read (most of) this one. It is extremely well-researched but often a little too dry and academic for my taste. _Dormouse_ is more accessible, but both are great for Engelbart nerds.
