How this season is filed
1980s clones to early web: Joe's pitch, Gordon's hardware heartbreak, Cameron and Donna building companies the industry still would not credit. AMC's critics' darling that found its soul mid-run. Tech history as human drama — ambition in beige boxes, and a prestige show actually about making the future.
