It's 1998, the middle of the dot-com boom. Portals are advertising on TV, web developers are fighting browser companies, Microsoft and Amazon are gaining power, and Netscape is going open source.

      This was exactly what I watched that educated me about it, it is fascinating. The whole documentary is a masterclass in telling the story by just laying out what happened, not really editorializing but just letting the bad guys hang themselves by explaining their take on it and then juxtaposed against some other events and information.
