VR roared back to life this decade due to the efforts of visionary teenager Palmer Luckey. Luckey built Oculus, sold to Facebook for $3 billion - then got fired. We talk to Palmer on next week's show.
In this TNBS re-run, Mark revisits an old episode in which he talks to author Blake Harris whose book "The History of the Future" looks at Palmer and the founding of Occulus.
