Colussus was probably where they got the idea for Skynet. There is a good book call “When Harley was One” that explores the same idea from a different and more passive angle.

I thought I was watching a documentary made in the 1980s about computer chess and a competition between different programmers. It seemed made with B&W video tape. Had period correct computers, nerds, clothes etc. Called “Computer Chess”. Worth watching the first 15 minutes just to see how they are portraying everyone.
