   If you're interested in this stuff, I highly recommend @histoftech 's "Programmed Inequality" and #nathanensmenger 's "The Computer Boys Take Over".

   I genuinely believe that for those of us interested in #retrocomputing, it's important to be aware of how the field of computing got to be as amoral and unethical as it is. Retrocomputing isn't just about clever but forgotten technical ideas.
