This is a good overview book for the development of human-computer interaction, with very nice interviews with people who contributed to the state of the art.
"During the past forty years, interaction designers have powerfully transformed the daily lives of billions. Designing Interactions is a deeply knowing, intimate portrayal of these people: who they are, how they think, and precisely what they do. If you live or work with computers or cell phones--and who among us has any choice about that?--then you owe it to yourself to read this. A labor of love that was years in the making, this classic has no rival in its field."
