There are lots of great books on the Vienna Circle. Check out Dave Edmonds' Wittgenstein's Poker (2001) for a fun and accessible intro.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m currently reading Journey To The Edge of Reason,¹ which is nominally a biography of Kurt Gödel but the first third is about the rise and fall of Austrian intellectual dominance and the Vienna Circle is a central piece of that story.
