He's back.  aThe dramatic, larger-than-life true story behind the founding of Oculus and its quest for virtual reality, by the bestselling author of Console Wars. In 2012, nineteen-year-old Palmer Luckey -- inventor, gamer, dreamer -- lives alone in a trailer in Long Beach, California, that he has transformed into a makeshift laboratory optimized to build virtual reality headsets -- a technology most believed died in the nineties. Luckey, however, is adamant about its resurrection; so, too, are other visionaries. Enter famed coder and video game pioneer John Carmack, who is developing a game that might be the perfect software companion to Luckey's hardware. Soon enough, the two team up, and with the help of a charismatic serial entrepreneur, a brilliant Russian programmer, and dozens of other colorful characters, Luckey's scrappy startup -- Oculus -- kickstarts a virtual reality revolution. What happens next turns out to be the ultimate entrepreneurial journey: a tale of battles won and lost, lessons learned, and never-ending twists and turns-including an unlikely, multi-billion-dollar acquisition by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, who wants to help bring VR to the masses. The result is a modern-day tale of the American Dream that is a front-row seat to the birth of a game-changing new industry.10aLuckey, Palmer.20aOculus VR (Firm)20aFacebook (Firm)24aFacebook (Firm) 0aVirtual reality. 4aRealidad virtual 0aComputer industryzUnited States. 4aIndustria informáticazEstados Unidos  4aNonfiction.1 aCline, Ernesteauthor of introduction, etc.
