Synopsis
In the early nineties, a visionary special-effects guru named Marc Thorpe conjured a field of dreams different from any the world had seen before: It would be framed by unbreakable plastic instead of cornstalks; populated not by ghostly ballplayers but by remote-controlled robots, armed to the steely teeth, fighting in a booby-trapped ring. If you built it, they'd come all right....InGearheads, Newsweektechnology correspondent Brad Stone examines the history of robotic sports, from their cultish early years at universities and sci-fi conventions to today's televised extravaganzas -- and the turmoil that threatened the whole enterprise almost from the beginning.By turns a lively historical narrative, a legal thriller, and an exploration of a cultural and technological phenomenon,Gearheadsis a funny and fascinating look at the sport of the future today., In the early nineties, a visionary special-effects guru named Marc Thorpe conjured a field of dreams different from any the world had seen before: It would be framed by unbreakable plastic instead of cornstalks; populated not by ghostly ballplayers but by remote-controlled robots, armed to the steely teeth, fighting in a booby-trapped ring.

In Gearheads, Newsweek technology correspondent Brad Stone examines the history of robotic sports, from their cultish early years at universities and sci-fi conventions to today's televised extravaganzas -- and the turmoil that threatened the whole enterprise almost from the beginning. By turns a lively historical narrative, a legal thriller, and an exploration of a cultural and technological phenomenon, Gearheads is a funny and fascinating look at the sport of the future today.

VERY HAPPY with my purchase. This is the exact book and exact cover that I wanted (the blue cover). It was very difficult to find the blue cover version in my area, so I was very happy to see that this shop carried it. Shipping time was normal - it was a day or so late, but I think that had more to do with the mail system. It was packaged well. It arrived safely. Brand new book. The item matched the description.
