Hackers is a great choice, it’s so cheesy but it just draws you in and completely suspends your beliefs. Every character is likeable and the lines are so well delivered, man now I got to rewatch it. Terminator 2, hackers, and Pokemon 1st gen probably made more SDEs than any stem outreach program.
I hope others chime in since I might be talking out of my ass, but I heard that the other books don’t meet the bar set by the first to a similar degree of the show. I enjoyed season 2, but season 1 was damn good.
