New StoryBundle is up, and it's for:

The Nerd History Bundle, featuring mostly non-fiction histories and biographies about computing, plus a fiction anthology of stories about computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace.

This has a mix of what looks like newly-written and backlist books, including a 1993 Bill Gates biography which received praise from assorted newspaper sources at the time, as well as several more obscure old-school computing things, like a history of the TRS-80 computer, which is favourably reviewed on this enthusiast website here.

$3 minimum gets you 3 titles: the TRS-80 history book, a memoir by a Microsoft guy who used to be a major player in their Xbox division, and the fiction anthology.

$12 top-tier gets an additional 4 titles: the Bill Gates biography, a memoir by a long-time tech journalist, a history/biographical overview of important Silicon Valley computing personalities, and a management consultant's view of Google.

Also, Humble Bundle has the new Humble Manga Bundle KC Kodansha Comics out, details in the Comics megathread, and offers a freebie sampler download of an "Eye Candy Flavor Pack" full of concept artwork and character design images from the games featured in their current Humble Eye Candy Bundle, if you're interested. Last week's Humble Book Bundle Hacking presented by No Starch Press is also still available.
