About this book

Blake J. Harris's fascinating true story, "The History of the Future: Oculus, Facebook, and the Revolution That Swept Virtual Reality," explores the origins of Oculus, its pursuit of virtual reality, and its founder's divisive struggle for political independence against Facebook. Harris skillfully documents the ascent of Oculus, a virtual reality startup that attracted Mark Zuckerberg's interest and was ultimately purchased by Facebook for a sum of over $2 billion, in this gripping story.

The adventure starts with Palmer Luckey, a nineteen-year-old innovator who dared to bring his alluring idea of reasonably priced virtual reality to life. This novel effectively conveys the drama and thrill of attempting to use technology to alter the world through its vibrant cast of characters, successes, and failures.
