Some of my favourite internet-specific books:

- The Dream Machine. Fantastic tech history coverage with a particular focus on the lead up to the internet https://press.stripe.com/#the-dream-machine.

- Tools for Thought - Lots of similar ground to the Dream Machine but with a less internet-centric focus. Still great though - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tools-Thought-History-Mind-Expandin...

Perhaps not internet focused, but tangential/technology:

- The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation

- One Giant Leap (Apollo Missions. Decent amount of computing foucs)

- Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson

- Organizing Genius: The Secrets of Creative Collaboration. Lots of interesting snippets of tech and non-tech history
