A note left with the device that was used to blow up the virtual reality center at Northeastern University offers clues as to the motives of the bomber.
According to CNN, a man who worked at Northeastern's virtual reality center was injured and is in the hospital, though university officials stress that his injuries are relatively minor.
The case also contained a note that law enforcement officials told CNN contained a "rambling" manifesto which criticized the relationship between academia and the social media giant Facebook, as well as the explosion. Futurism reached out to Facebook to let them know about the mention.
There are many details that are fuzzy. Even by the admission of one of its own executives, the company's actual virtual reality tech is so clunky and banal that any tinfoil hat ideas about its potential for criminal activity are useless at this point. The unbalanced attacker struck an academic institution instead of Facebook.
