Same tech feel
Gödel, Escher, Bach
Douglas Hofstadter · 1979

Advances in Computers, Volume 49 (Advances in Computers)
Marvin V. Zelkowitz · 1995
A survey volume of technical chapters on nanotechnology and computing, aimed at academic and industrial readers who want citation-dense overviews rather than narrative.
Data structures and algorithm analysis in C

A rigorous, playful textbook that treats discrete mathematics as a craft — dense notation and demanding problems leavened by marginal wit.
Discrete mathematics
Norman Biggs · 1985
Both explore algorithms
Transactions on Engineering Technologies
Sio-Iong Ao · 2013

Code
Charles Petzold · 1999
A patient, ground-up tour of how computers actually work, built from flashlights and Morse code up to the modern PC.
The art of doing science and engineering
