Description from Amazon:
Twenty five years ago, it didn't exist. Today, twenty million people worldwide are surfing the Net. Where Wizards Stay Up Late is the exciting story of the pioneers responsible for creating the most talked about, most influential, and most far-reaching communications breakthrough since the invention of the telephone.
In the 1960's, when computers where regarded as mere giant calculators, J.C.R. Licklider at MIT saw them as the ultimate communications devices. With Defense Department funds, he and a band of visionary computer whizzes began work on a nationwide, interlocking network of computers. Taking readers behind the scenes, Where Wizards Stay Up Late captures the hard work, genius, and happy accidents of their daring, stunningly successful venture.

Books you may enjoy:
I can't suggest anything by Robert X. Cringely or Steve Wozniak. The two men are revisionists that, given the forum, would claim Apple single-handledly created the very universe we live in.
Tron? Wall Street? :)
But in some greater seriousness - I think we're only just getting to the 80s as a decade for stories to be told about, which can only really come with distance. That said, there is some stuff out there.
Note that H&CF isn't the story of Jobs & Wozniak, though the parallels are there. The first stop would be this article about the Compaq guys which is almost exactly what is taking place in H&CF. Here is the book written by one of the guys behind Compaq referenced in the article.
In terms of movies, Triumph of the Nerds is a documentary from the 90s about this period, and Pirates of Silicon Valley is the dramatisation of the same period.
Hacking: Kevin Mitnick's story might be of interest - see the wikipedia page for references.
Folklore.org is a good resource for stories from the early Apple days that you're interested in.
Just watched this, it was pretty good.
It's a $5 7-day rental on Amazon Video.
Definitely the first that comes to mind. Want to see the true story?
