Non-fiction but I love "Showstopper" about Dave Cutler and Windows NT 1.0.
There's a great little story in there about a developer's months-long struggle to draw a Window onscreen for the first time from scratch. I loved the descriptions of how they coded up everything from bare metal. As you'll see, Dave Cutler is one of those rare firebrands.
