History about 3D design

Hello! For my diploma thesis i need to gather many informations about the history of 3D Design (how it started, with a scientistic look, which algorithms were used to find the hidden line etc.) The only paper i foound is "A Characterization of Ten Hidden-Surface Algorithms" by Ivan E. Sutherland. Could anyone please suggest me to another paper or book to find more information? 
Thank you for your time!

The books by Dr Hanratty might be a start.

 

All I know is that the first mention of a 3D design system in literature was in "The Door into Summer" by Robert A Heinlein.
