I'm really fond of book and medias about the creation of a product here are some of my favorites one: - link (docu series on the creation of the xbox, by microsoft) - link (precursor of the modern smartphone, still not watched this one but look interesting) - link ( the springboard smartphone history) - link (Half life documentary, various video game documentaries are available on the noclip channel and they go with a a good amount of depth) - link (AN incredible series on japan electronic industry, not a single product per se but lot of seminal products are introduced) - ▶ this video (Iphone history) - Master of doom (classic book on ID software, the last entries of abrash black art book on Quake creation are a lot of fun too) - link great article series on the creation of the crash bandicoot and its tech challenge - The Future was here – The Commodore Amiga (book on the Amiga computer creation, with lot of technical yet manageable details) All in all ressources that include a good mix of technical details and compelling narrative would be great.
