In case you don’t know “Halt and Catch Fire” is the name of an amazing show from AMC. It’s hands down one of my favorite TV shows, especially among the shows with a tech theme. The story takes place in the 80s, and has a lot of elements from real stories of the early computers but in short it tells the story of few visionaries and talented engineers that go about innovating in the nascent world of computers and go forward to predict the internet and create the first networked games and online communities. I even love it more because it has hardware elements to it. As you know in the earlier years of computers you had to know a lot more about the hardware and often you would have to invent both the software and hardware. Go watch it, it’s great and thank me later.
