For an excellent history of computers see the well reviewed and thoroughly enjoyable and engaging "Tools for Thought" by Howard Rheingold. Englebart is prominantly mentioned throughout the book (as he should be). Includes a complete chapter regarding Englebart. A new edition, print only, includes a revised chapter with 1999 interviews with Doug Engelbart and Alan Kay among others. Read it. Thank me later. (I am not H. Rheingold; however, [gratuitous plug] you may find that PurpleSlurple offers utility for reading such a long online text).
