The Soul of A New Machine
Tracy Kidder
This book takes a deep look into the computer revolution and the intense work culture that came with it, focusing on the engineers of a company called Data General who built a new 32-bit minicomputer in just one year. Through real-life stories, the author sheds light on the "total commitment" philosophy of managing technical creation and the extreme measures engineers took to meet impossible deadlines. A thought-provoking read that explores concepts that still resonate today.

The best source of information about startups is probably not business books, but histories of particular startups and industries. The most famous is Tracy Kidder's Soul of a New Machine, but there are many good books of this type. I particularly liked Sorensen's My Forty Years with Ford. – fuente
