> "Every virtual machine today is imitating in software what we was directly in the hardware in 1961. That's one of the reasons I say we don't have a field. The reason we don't have a field is because none of you know this. It'd be like a physicist not knowing what Newton had done." ~paraphrasing around 52:45

As someone that did not know and would certainly like to learn more about the history of computing, what books / resources would you recommend?
