I love this book. In it you will find the birth of code and computing presented and explained in one of most basic terms possible. It does get a bit hairy towards the end as the system grows and new switches are introduced. Anyhow, it is an excellent book. I'm glad to have found someone mentioning it.
I felt hesitant to mention this book because at some point it has nothing to do with code. But the communication part and how the author directs the flow of information is beautiful.

I haven't read many history books but what I found most interesting was
Code by Charles Petzold.
Petzold goes to the very beginning of how communications started, and go very low level and moves to the modern programming languages.
⚠️Be warned. It gets very Electrical Engineering heavy.
I literally had to skim through about 1/4 of the book as I couldn't understand many electric circuits.
