Of course!

What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry [2005]

Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age [2000]

Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition, and Still Can't Get a Date [1996]

Palo Alto [2023] (This is more for capturing the full scope of San Francisco / Palo Alto since the founding of California as a state)

Those are some off the top of my head right now being away from my library, probably also the most impactful to me in no specific order.
