UNIX: A History and a Memoir | Brian Kernhigan

For me, this book finally told the human story behind so many CLI commands and ideas I'd been using for decades.

Came here to post this. Great book and it's got so much heart. Brian is obviously a great writer and has a lot of great stories about the Bell Labs days. Early UNIX just seems like a dream to have been around.

It's a very human focused book, and the humans it focuses on are just incredible.
