Great episode! Now I'm thinking how great it would be to do one with Ken Thompson to hear it from his angle.

This is in my queue! This is a great podcast, Adam Gordon-Bell is such a thoughtful interviewer, probably my favourite episode was "Don and Adam discuss Folds", it blew my mind and made me smile. Very highly recommended.

For the uninitiated, Brian Kernighan also wrote a book titled "Unix: A History and a Memoir" published in 2019. Would recommend.

I'd also recommend his book, it was an excellent read. Do you know of any more books that are similar? Historical and a little bit "technical"?

Commodore: A Company on the Edge by Brian Bagnall is highly recommended.
