If there is a book or Netflix series that has deeply impressed you about a engineering philosophy, please recommend it.

Are you expecting to be? What have you been up to?
Anyway, I recommend “Sweet Tooth” on Netflix.

Recently I’ve read “la musique électronique” by Constant Martin. It’s a technical book from the 1950s explaining the theory and schematics of vacuum tube based organs and early synthetizers. But it’s also a look in the mind of an electronic music pioneer, who struggled a bit to share his enthusiasm with other musicians and traditional organ builders. He seems to be one of the earliest hackers, before that was a thing at all. He offers schematics for varirus simple instruments, like for example a simplified electric cello, or an experiment to understand the rotating disc oscillators in Hammond organs using a circular saw and an electromagnet.
I don’t know if the book has been translated in other languages (it’s in French). It’s out of print, but you can find scans online if you’re into that sort of thing.
