The Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires (1996)

June 22, 1996Documentary2h 45m

An Irreverent History of the PC Industry

Overview

It happened more or less by accident; the people who made it happen were amateurs; and for the most part they still are. From his own Silicon Valley garage, author Bob Cringley puts PC bigshots and nerds on the spot, and tells their incredible true stories. Like the industry itself, the series is informative, funny and brash.
