That book needs a sequel. +10 on the internet history mailing list also.
Assuming you're referring to "Where Wizards Stay Up Late" ...You might check out xbbn.org - which redirects to http://exbbn.weebly.com/ - lots of collected personal recollections from the old days.
It links to a variety of things, including: http://exbbn.weebly.com/a-culture-of-innovation.html - which is essentially oral history, through 2010, that extends a lot of the stuff in the book. There's an associated web site at https://walden-family.com/bbn/ - Dave is basically our historian - and https://walden-family.com/ has some more stuff of broader historic interest.
