"[An] exploration of the history, development, and future of virtual reality, a technology with world-changing potential"--Amazon.com.

No longer just a mainstay of science fiction, VR has seen recent success with companies such as Oculus, Sony, and HTC. But little is known about its history, which reaches back decades. Ewalt chronicles its origins in Cold War military laboratories, and traces it through decades of hype and failed products, to a teenage gamer whose advancements made the recent breakthroughs in VR possible. Writing for a mainstream audience as well as technology enthusiasts, Ewalt offers a unique perspective on how VR got here, where it's going, and how and why it will change the way we live.

David M. Ewalt is a contributing editor to Forbes Magazine, and the author of Of Dice and Men: The Story of Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Play It. Ewalt is an authority on the intersections among gaming, technology, and business. He writes for a variety of print and online outlets, and frequently appears as an expert guest on TV, radio, and podcasts. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
