“I want to do right by these people. I want to tell a story that honors the stuff they did.” —Blake J. Harris (@blakejharrisNYC)
Ah, yes, it’s The Creative Nonfiction the show where I speak to badass writers, filmmakers, and producers about the art and craft of telling true stories. For episode 143 I have Blake J. Harris, author of Console Wars, and most recently The History of the Future: Oculus, Facebook, and the Revolution That Swept Virtual Reality.
So Blake J. Harris is here, @blakejharrisNYC on Twitter. He wrote a hefty book on the history of virtual reality. It’s a fast-paced book and we dive into his unorthodox path to telling true tales and how he put together this latest books. I hope you enjoy this conversation between me and Blake.
