Booklist Review
The future is now! The Searchlight Books: Cutting-Edge STEM series (6 titles) makes that clear with books that focus on the latest technology. Cutting-Edge Virtual Reality takes readers past the boundaries of their senses and explains quite well, using the idea of being inside a ball the different ways to enjoy and educate oneself through this experience. The color photographs in this series are particularly well chosen, adding and expanding the texts and giving kids a sense of the possibilities that these technologies offer. All of the books give a nod to the history of each technology, which allows readers to see how these fields are expanding. An exciting series for technology collections.--Ilene Cooper Copyright 2019 BooklistThere are no comments on this title.
