Cool Science Radio - Blake Harris - Oculus, Facebook, and the Revolution that Swept Virtual Reality

Bestselling author Blake J. Harris joins Cool Science Radio to tell the story of then19-year old Palmer Luckey - a boy who set out to build a virtual reality goggle and two years later sold the company to Facebook for $2 billion dollars. The story weaves  a human drama that comes with trying to build the future. What drives the imagination and creativity and technological expertise of young Palmer Luckey, how did Mark Zuckerberg recognize the genius, what drove the decision to acquire Oculus for that price tag? Harris' book is The History of the Future.
