The 'Internet History Podcast' that was made while writing the book is also excellent.

The Friendly Orange Glow (2017) by Brian Dear is also very good. He's also on HN.

Accidental Empires (1996) by Robert X Cringely is also pretty good:

Would you say these are as technical as Kernighan's book?

Yep. But I wouldn't say Kernighan's book was technical. I enjoyed Kernighan's book though.

These books go into about as much detail.

It's more technical history.
