Just finished: "The Cogwheel Brain" by Doron Swade, all about Babbage & Linda, sorry, Ada Lovelace, and the Differential & Analytical Engines.
Also leafing through "The World's Worst Weapons: from exploding guns to malfunctioning missiles" by Martin J Dougherty. (Contains amongst others, the Atomic Howitzer, the German rifle that shoots around corners, and the Davy Crocket nuclear bazooka, not forgetting Project Pluto, the supersonic nuclear ramjet).
