Google Glass: The Book
Google Glass was supposed to replace phones and PCs, becoming the peripheral that turned the internet itself into a bodily function, making the instant overlay of real-time information into a new organic language. Where did everything go wrong?
Was it the unchecked hubris of Big Tech, which had become addicted to solving problems that didn’t exist? Was it a tone deaf marketing campaign that failed to take into account the secret loathing of Silicon Valley’s haughty elites? Or was it simply too early, a product before its time like the Palm Pilot or disco?
This book is the warts-and-all inside story of Google Glass' demise, featuring the tech's inventors, users, developers, detractors, lovers, haters, models, and memers – all on the record – for a new entry in Instar Books' Remember the Internet series. NOT AVAILABLE FOR GOOGLE GLASS.
