I'd include "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Cliff Stoll as
a historically significantly book in the (short) history of the internet, for several reasons. It's a glimpse of the relationship of the early Internet vs. the the real world (technically, legally, and personally). It presents the best documented case of early internet cracking. It's a slice of life (almost a diary) of a unix sysadmin from the early 80's.
Stoll's other book, "Silicon Snake Oil" should also be considered. I provokes the question "What will be the impact of the internet on the quality of life of the people who use it?"
(I hope most of you have read these).
