Hello World Under the Microscope

It would be fun to have this go all the way down into the silicon, to the transistor level and beyond.

I'd certainly have liked to read what happens all the way up to the GPU. I need a better understanding of how the operating system talks to the GPU and how all these graphics are represented and manipulated by the hardware.

You'd definitively be interested by the ryg[1] series on the graphic pipeline. It goes in details about how bits get to the GPU and how the GPU handle them. The author writes that using a 3D graphics API is a prerequisite. To the contrary, the series itself is great to get a grasp on things and not feel completely alienated by 3D graphics APIs if you ever decide to use one in the future. It's fairly old (2011) but I still see it recommended as a relevant resource today.
