Would be good. Do you have anything specific to suggest?

I can throw in some of my personal favorites:

Turing's Cathedral - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0375422773/
Computing: A Concise History - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262517671/
The Computer Book: From Abacus to AI, 250 Milestones in the History of Computer Science - https://www.amazon.com/dp/145492621X/

@siriniok Most of my knowledge of history is from Wikipedia "History of" articles, which could be a good starting point.

e.g.
