I gave you one.  John Keegan's The First World War.

Which is a "secondary source".  Now I'm looking for "primary sources" online to post for you. Since I didn't get it from a primary source online in the first place, I'm not going back to where I started and showing it to you.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
