If you’re interested in more of this kind of player-made history of Eve, I highly recommend Empires of Eve, both the book and the podcast series:

The podcast is very well produced and has interviews with the major players from the early years of Eve.

Occasionally when I get the craving to play Eve, I also end up listening to a few episodes of Talking on Stations, an eve podcast that gives fascinating in depth analysis of a world I’ll never have time for.
