Hey everyone! I鈥檓 looking for some good documentaries on the history of computer science and Programming in general!

If they are free and easily accessible it鈥檚 a plus!

Thanks in advance!

    You should read Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy.

    It鈥檚 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.

        No problem. I should point out that it鈥檚 a very US-centric version of history. I鈥檓 sure it leaves out a ton of international context. If anyone else knows of a book that includes more international context I鈥檇 love to read it myself.
