History of CS & Programming
Hey everyone! I'm looking for some good documentaries on the history of computer science and Programming in general!
If they are free and easily accessible it's a plus!
Thanks in advance!

You should read Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy.
It’s not specifically about CS and programming but a bit adjacent to both. It basically covers hackers from the inception of the phrase through to modern day, if you read the updated version which was published in 2011 I think.
Perfect, exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for! Thanks!
No problem. I should point out that it’s a very US-centric version of history. I’m sure it leaves out a ton of international context. If anyone else knows of a book that includes more international context I’d love to read it myself.
