Enjoyed skimming this, but it's hardly definitive historic research.

Since the "origins" (whatever that term might mean) go back to the 
"network of networks" described by Licklider and Taylor (later of Xerox 
PARC)) in a 1967 Scientific American article, and can be traced from 
that through *both* PARC and ARPA, I don't believe this is any better 
than the books cited, all of which are pretty lame and PR-focused.
