The 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.

Drawing on over a hundred interviews with the key players driving this revolution, The History of the Future weaves together a rich, cinematic narrative that captures the breakthroughs, breakdowns and human drama of trying to change the world.

Chicago Series in Law and Society

"HIV emerged in the world at a time when medicine and healthcare were undergoing two major transformations: globalization and a turn toward more legally inflected, rule-based ways of doing things. It accelerated both trends. Although pestilence and disease are generally considered the domain of the biological sciences and medicine, social arrangements-and law in particular- also play a crucial role in shaping outcomes. Drawing on years of research in HIV clinics in the United States, Thailand, South Africa, and Uganda, Governing the Global Clinic examines how growing norms of legalized accountably have altered the work of healthcare and how the effects of legalization vary across different national and local contexts. A key feature of legalism is the use of universalistic language, but, in practice, rules are usually imported from rich countries (and especially the United States) to poor ones with vastly different available infrastructures and resources with which to implement them. Inequalities between countries are deeply consequential both because of the difficulties associated with adapting the laws of resource-rich countries to poorer ones and because of the distrust of poor countries by those who are monitoring compliance. Challenging readers to reconsider the impulse to use law (in both its "hard" and "soft" forms) to organize and govern social life, Governing the Global Clinic asks many hard questions. These include: When do rules solve problems, and when do rules instead create new problems? When do rules get decoupled from ethics, and when, in contrast, does the use of rules lead to deeper moral commitments? When do rules reduce inequality? And when do they reflect, reproduce, and even amplify inequality?"--

Governing the Global Clinic

How new technology is rapidly changing the nature of money and the way we pay A diverse and growing range of financial institutions and platforms--from PayPal and Venmo to WeChat, Alipay, and the brave new world of stablecoins--has harnessed new technology to disrupt the system of money and payments as we know it. Beyond Banks explains why this disruption holds out the promise of faster, cheaper, more convenient, and more secure payments, but also how it increasingly risks exposing consumers, businesses, and governments to the problem of bad money. Dan Awrey traces the origins of our current bundled system of banking, money, and payments. He explains why the problem of bad money--the result of antiquated and inadequate laws and regulation that fail to establish credible commitments to hold, transfer, or return a customer's money on demand--requires that policymakers fundamentally rethink their approach toward the design of the laws and institutions at the heart of this system. He presents ways to effectively unbundle banking from money and payments, ensure the credibility of monetary commitments, and promote the stability of this system. Awrey also envisions a more forward-looking role for policymakers in encouraging greater technological experimentation, competition, and innovation in the realm of payments. Beyond Banks sheds critical light on the important but too often dysfunctional relationship among technology, regulation, and money, and lays the foundations for a safer, more nimble, and more inclusive system of money and payments.

‘An amazing book.’ – Dan Lepard&nbsp; &nbsp; ‘The rich and fascinating story of bread.’ – Lily Vanilli&nbsp; &nbsp; ‘A brilliant, timely and important book full of compassion.’ – Olia Hercules&nbsp; &nbsp; ‘A fascinating exploration of our universal love of bread. David traces the past, present and future of bread through his personal lens as a third generation baker.’ – Edd Kimber&nbsp; &nbsp; Discover the story behind the world’s most essential food in Breaking Bread. &nbsp; &nbsp; Third generation baker, food writer and presenter David Wright examines the universal questions about bread and baking. Is bread good or bad? And what does its future hold?&nbsp; &nbsp; Bread is more than a staple; it is a mirror of our story, our health, our very being. Every civilisation has a form of bread, and how we create, make and bake it, how we sell it and buy it, our food security, our access to it, affects everything. &nbsp; Breaking Bread provides a unique look into these themes, including:&nbsp;<ul><li>The craft and science behind creating, making and baking bread.&nbsp;</li><li>Bread’s journey through history, from ancient rituals to modern revolutions.&nbsp;</li><li>The health debate: why bread divides opinion and what science reveals.&nbsp;</li><li>Industrial vs artisan baking: economics, ethics and the fight for quality.&nbsp;</li><li>The politics and power of bread in shaping societies and conflicts.&nbsp;</li><li>How bread connects to religion, identity and cultural traditions.&nbsp;</li><li>Expert insights from leading bakers, food writers, farmers and campaigners.&nbsp;</li><li>A vision for the future: can bread survive and thrive in a changing world?&nbsp;</li></ul> Featuring interviews with Olia Hercules, Dan Lepard, Felicity Spector, Brad Leone and many more, as well as with pioneers of regenerative farming, Breaking Bread is both a heartfelt memoir and a thought-provoking manifesto. Wright’s journey – &nbsp;from the closure of his family bakery to rediscovering the soul of bread – invites you to rethink what’s on your plate.&nbsp; &nbsp; For food lovers, home bakers and anyone curious about the story behind their daily loaf, this book offers a passionate call to protect one of humanity’s oldest and most vital foods.&nbsp;

Breaking Bread blends history and personal insight to explore bread’s role in themes such as agriculture, religion, identity and conflict, while also asking what the future holds for our daily loaf.

The geopolitics of American law enforcement and how it changed corporate criminal accountability in other countriesOver the past decade, many of the world's biggest companies have found themselves embroiled in legal disputes over corruption, fraud, environmental damage, tax evasion, or sanction violations. Corporations including Volkswagen, BP, and Credit Suisse have paid record-breaking fines. Many critics of globalization and corporate impunity cheer this turn toward accountability. Others, however, question American dominance in legal battles that seem to impose domestic legal norms beyond national boundaries. In this book, Cornelia Woll examines the politics of American corporate criminal law's extraterritorial reach. As governments abroad seek to respond to US law enforcement actions against their companies, they turn to flexible legal instruments that allow prosecutors to settle a case rather than bring it to court. With her analysis of the international and domestic politics of law enforcement targeting big business, Woll traces the rise of what she calls "negotiated corporate justice" in global markets. Woll charts the path to this shift through case studies of geopolitical tensions and accusations of "economic lawfare," pitting the United States against the European Union, China, and Japan. She then examines the reactions to the new legal landscape, describing institutional changes in the common law countries of the United Kingdom and Canada and the civil law countries of France, Brazil, and Germany. Through an insightful interdisciplinary analysis of how the prosecution of corporate crime has evolved in the twenty-first century, Woll demonstrates the profound transformation of the relationship between states and private actors in world markets, showing that law is part of economic statecraft in the connected global economy.

Politics and Society in Modern America

How cable television upended American political life in the pursuit of profits and influence As television began to overtake the political landscape in the 1960s, network broadcast companies, bolstered by powerful lobbying interests, dominated screens across the nation. Yet over the next three decades, the expansion of a different technology, cable, changed all of this. 24/7 Politics tells the story of how the cable industry worked with political leaders to create an entirely new approach to television, one that tethered politics to profits and divided and distracted Americans by feeding their appetite for entertainment—frequently at the expense of fostering responsible citizenship. In this timely and provocative book, Kathryn Cramer Brownell argues that cable television itself is not to blame for today’s rampant polarization and scandal politics—the intentional restructuring of television as a political institution is. She describes how cable innovations—from C-SPAN coverage of congressional debates in the 1980s to MTV’s foray into presidential politics in the 1990s—took on network broadcasting using market forces, giving rise to a more decentralized media world. Brownell shows how cable became an unstoppable medium for political communication that prioritized cult followings and loyalty to individual brands, fundamentally reshaped party politics, and, in the process, sowed the seeds of democratic upheaval. 24/7 Politics reveals how cable TV created new possibilities for antiestablishment voices and opened a pathway to political prominence for seemingly unlikely figures like Donald Trump by playing to narrow audiences and cultivating division instead of common ground.

"American energy and its power to destroy. In the United States, the promise of a green-energy future is complicated by its realities. The country's legacy energy systems are decrepit; the rollout of new technologies is unequal and piecemeal; households find themselves increasingly without reliable or affordable access; Americans are excluded from the decisions that shape their energy futures. Having power in America has become an exercise in race, class, and wealth-in more ways than one. POWER LINES is a sweeping portrait of American energy in the twenty-first century, rendered in terms of its increasing-and inevitable-human costs. Coal miners in West Virginia lose their livelihoods as energy markets change; historically marginalized households cannot easily access new technologies; children in "sacrifice zones" adjacent to mineral-mining sites suffer health problems and limited resources; cities and towns are burdened in often unwanted and undesirable ways from the production of alternative energies. Sanya Carley and David Konisky show current challenges and an uncertain future of America's greatest policy imperative. The result is not only sobering, it's essential for planning and pursuing a clean-energy transition that improves on the errors of the past"--

Reproductive Justice: A New Vision for the 21st Century

"Abortion has always been a part of the human story, but until recent decades, those who chose it often risked their lives in the effort to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Sydney Calkin's masterful accounting of the revolutionary impact of abortion medications is part history, part investigative reporting, and part forecasting. It is a must-read for anyone hoping to understand what is happening behind the scenes of the abortion war unfolding around the world today."--Michelle Oberman, author of Her Body, Our Laws: On the Front Lines of the Abortion War from El Salvador to Oklahoma "Sydney Calkin takes the question of women's access to abortion as a jumping-off point for a searing account of the mutual entanglement of the moral and political economies of abortion pills. She offers a compelling and fresh take on a debate that has long been dominated by questions of the precise legal status of abortion. By following the practical strategies of access-to-abortion activists, Calkin retrains our sights: away from a tight focus on abstract legal regimes and onto people doing things. Phone calls and post offices pepper her tale of emancipatory tactics of our current moment's most important feminist fight-back."--Sarah Hodges, Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine, King's College London "Abortion Pills Go Global is an enlightening examination of how medication abortion has become the go-to option around the world. As Calkin shows so well, abortion pills have become a key facet of reproductive justice."--Rickie Solinger, coauthor​ ​of Reproductive Justice: An Introduction "Abortion Pills Go Global couldn't be more timely. An important contribution to the geographies of abortion and abortion technology that speaks to how activist practice responds to--and shapes--the legal and regulatory landscapes for reproductive care. If you want to know more about how abortion technology is mobilized within and across national boundaries and how abortion services could better reach those who need them, read this book!"--Maria Fannin, Professor of Human Geography, University of Bristol "Abortion Pills Go Global is excellent, incisive, exacting, and critical. Calkin's work is always of outstanding quality, and this is no different. The book offers exciting case studies that are intellectually rich and empirically grounded, offering academics and activists regional insights as well as conceptual engagements."--Kath Browne, Professor of Human Geography, University College Dublin "I cannot think of a more timely and important book in the world right now. Calkin's Abortion Pills Go Global effectively situates medical abortion in wider reproductive justice and social decriminalization debates to tell us how abortion happens now and is changing the shape of the world we live in. It is not just a must-read for anyone interested in abortion, it is a must-read for anyone interested in geopolitics."--Sophie Harman, Professor of International Politics, Queen Mary University of London "As well written as it is well researched, Calkin's book is an incredibly thorough and nuanced study of the activist-driven provision of medical abortion pills in Europe and the United States. A must-read for anyone who is interested in knowing, fully and completely, what is happening on the ground."--Mara Clarke, co-founder, Supporting Abortions For Everyone (S.A.F.E.)

An unprecedented, up-close look into the global self-managed abortion movement. &nbsp; Abortion pills have made safe medication abortion possible for millions of people around the world, even in the most restrictive circumstances. In this timely book, Sydney Calkin illustrates the profound, transformative promise of these pills—which are safe, effective, and responsible for a sharp decline in maternal mortality. Abortion Pills Go Global demonstrates that the widespread practice of self-managed medication abortion makes it more difficult for countries to enforce oppressive abortion laws and less willing to do so. &nbsp; Taking a bold and unique geographic approach, this book follows these pills as they are manufactured and transported by feminist activists from India to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland, and the United States. Calkin shows that the growing availability of abortion pills in places with restrictive laws means more people have access to self-managed healthcare. Abortion Pills Go Global looks ahead to see how the broader politics of abortion could shift in response to this global movement—one that looks not to laws for protection but to on-the-ground feminist mobilizations across borders.
