About this audiobook
Virtual Reality. It can take you to Worlds you've never imagined. It can also cause severe seizures, eye and muscle twitches and blackouts. And that's just the TIP of the VR iceberg.
Some neuroscientists say it could potentially re-wire the brain.
So, why then is Virtual Reality being promoted as the greatest thing since sliced bread?
"Follow the Money" is the primary answer. VR is projected to be a multi-billion dollar industry. Thus, all the big dogs - Google, Apple, Facebook are all over it like a cheap suit.
In his last book - Virtual Reality - Robots Rule, Book Four, Investigative Journalist Atherton Cooper introduced you to the sc-fi world of VR.
Now, in this book, he takes you behind the scenes to meet the tech magicians, futurists and idealistic academics who are obsessively promoting "the next big thing."
