I'd like something in-depth enough that I'll end up learning something, but not so dense that I'll fall asleep. I'm open to anything, though!

The book is really interesting, and is not targeted towards the tech entirely which can be great since non-technical people can get into it too.
If not, how about Super Mario, the story of Mario and Nintendo through the years?
You can also try Ghost in the Wires, Kevin Mitnick's autobiography.
Finally, the excellent Exploding the Phone tells the story of the rise and fall of phone phreaking, and has a lot of interesting information on the phone network of the time. None of these are especially technical, but they are fantastic reads, and presumably fantastic listens.
Not sure where it would rank for you on tech-related, but I enjoyed Masters of Doom by David Kushner (read by Wil Wheaton). Great deep dive on how id Software came to be and how the two Johns and the two Carmacks came together.
