Have a look at https://www.amazon.com/Diffusion-Innovations-5th-Everett-Rog... It is not history, but I remember having read it from cover to cover and gaining a historic insight in the process
The Innovators by Walter Issacson
A History of Modern Computing 2ed by Paul Ceruzzi
The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton Christensen
Connections by James Burke (also a PBS series)
cf Burke's Connections
