Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer Prize winning
The Soul of a New Machine, written back in 1981 about the attempt by Data General to produce a better 32 bit minicomputer than its competitor Digital Equipment is on sale for $2.99 at all the usual suspects. Kidder had inside access to the development teams during that development. I read it when it came out, and as a developer for another computer company, also going through the pains of developing a next generation computer that was incompatible with the predecessors, I found it quite compelling. I haven't reread it (so I'm not sure whether the suck fairy got to it), and I'm debating whether to pick it up as an ebook. It was quite interesting view of both the developers and managers as they were going the the trials and tribulations of developing a new computer system. It's not particularly technical.
