[Air-L] what sources do you use for a "history of the Internet"?

[Yuri Takhteyev]

I would recommend this book:

Abbate, J. (2000) Inventing the Internet, Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press.

For a broader history of commuting, I quite like this one:

Ceruzzi, P. (2003) A History of Modern Computing, 2nd edition,
Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press.
