<li><a href="http://bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/computer_center/Coding_for_the_MIT-IBM_704_Computer_Oct57.pdf">CODING for the MIT-IBM 704 COMPUTER, October 1957</a> This paper is not about Lisp. But it is about the particular individual computer on which Lisp was first implemented, and it is written in part by members of the Lisp team. I have found it useful in understanding the software environment in which, and the constraints under which, Lisp was written.</li>

<p><a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html">The Revenge of the Nerds, Paul Graham, 2002</a> This is mainly about why to use Lisp as a language for modern commercial software, but has useful insights into where it comes from.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>So the short explanation of why this 1950s language is not obsolete is that it was not technology but math, and math doesn’t get stale.</p>
