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.
