If you like this kind of content I heavily recommend Halt and Catch Fire. It's fiction on the personal computing business of the 80s, online gaming/communities and the race for search engines and browsers in the 90s . It makes a lot of nudges to current industry leaders.

HaCF is one of my favorite shows! It's not very technically accurate, but it's still really good at portraying the social aspects of being a technological optimist at the dawn of the age of personal computing and the web.
Is there anywhere to get an HD Box Set of that show yet?

Season 1 came out on Blu Ray in the US

Season 2 came out on Blu Ray in the EU (by some 3rd party company, apparently?)

Seasons 3 and 4 however are completely absent from any high quality physical media releases
