If you seek elightment, you seek truth. Look down towards foundations like physics, mathematics, logic and look back towards the past.

It' smaybe check out the Computer History Museum.

Read Feynman's (or about) books. "Surely you're joking, Mr Feynman" is light but profound. Max Tegmark's "Our Mathematical Universe" is great. "I am a strange loop" by Douglas Hofstadter will connect many dots. If you want to peek deeper - "Through two doors at once" describes experiments at the edge of our reality. "The singularity is near" is a good perspective that connects dots through time back many years to many in the future.

These are just some incomplete starter points. It's deep, beautiful rabbit hole. Enjoy it.
