109. Curated Bibliography

A curated list of books, technical articles, related works, and news and tech magazine cover stories relevant to the history detailed in "Hardcore Software"

Perhaps you would like to read even more about Microsoft and related works? This is a reading list I compiled while refreshing my memory and researching other perspectives on events. I’ve included books primarily about Microsoft and selected books where the Microsoft perspective was particularly relevant. In the 1980s and 1990s, magazine covers were the currency of the day when it came to business and cultural leadership. I’ve included references to some of the key magazine covers featuring Microsoft, Apple, and technology in general. Books can be found on online or via your favorite independent bookstore. Magazines are often available on eBay or sites dedicated to old magazines. Books available on Amazon (or your favorite retailer) have been compiled into an Amazon list.
