[Guillaume Latzko-Toth]

   Not exactly what you ask, but for sociotechnical histories of digital
   networks, I suggest that you follow this thread in Air-L archive:
   Topic: [Air-L] what sources do you use for a "history of the Internet"?

     I would appreciate any recommendations for histories, especially
     social histories, of computing or information tech.
     Thanks!
