Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff - wonderful story of the Mercury space programme. Doesn't cover the women who were stopped from qualifying for astronauts.
There's plenty of interesting stuff in sexuality and computer strategy games on my shelves.
Most plays don't read nearly as well as they perform. Stoppard is an example of the difference not being as great as it usually is. If you like Shakespeare, his contemporaries are well worth looking at (but best done via the Globe's 'Read Not Dead' semi-staged performances...)
