In Search of Stupidity: Over Twenty Years of High Tech Marketing Disasters is a history of computing told by its terrible business decisions. Reading this book, it seems the whole history of computing is made of astoundingly terrible business decisions. Maybe that's almost true. Very entertaining and informative. I learnt a lot, extremely highly recommended. Chapters on IBM, Digital Research, Apple, Microsoft, OS/2, Borland, Intel, Motorola, Google, Novell, Netscape, etc. Second edition 2006.
