    Cygnus Loop is the soundtrack to an imaginary planetarium show. Told in compact episodes and bathed in synthesizer music reminiscent of 1970s-era space programming, what begins as an astronomy lecture gradually devolves into a curious autopsy of theoretical math, confirmation bias, biological tendencies, and humankind’s search for meaning. As the scale of measurement expands, a story emerges of isolation and chance encounters.The creators suggest listening to this piece in its entirety, preferably in a dark room.

    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."
