"Hackers", by Steven Levy
"Sneakers" -- A great movie really about the hacking spirit. "Soul of a New Machine" -- Follows the developement of DG machines, but it really a very human story about engineering and triumph. Holds up well, good read. "The Hacker Crackdown": https://www.mit.edu/hacker/hacker.html Bell Labs Homdel Computing Center Training: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMYiktO0D64 ^ This one is great for people who do any kind of development work as it kind of follows a program being developed through the computing center.
