Hey y’all! I’ve spent the past couple years interviewing the lead engineers who built Google’s groundbreaking augmented reality glasses back in 2012, as well as the developers, detractors, models, “Glassholes,” and Tumblr trolls who brought it down in the years following. It all culminated in my (first ever) book about Google Glass, flush with top-secret labs, ominous barges, rising tensions between the haves and have-nots, cyberspace and the meatspace, and big tech’s imperialist march on personal privacy. With Silicon Valley chasing the AR/VR dragon once again, the whole thing feels oddly prescient.

You can buy the book here -- buy the paperback and the ebook comes free! -- and if you fancy following me on Twitter, my handle is @quinmyers! Also, the book is the third installment of a series called Remember the Internet by Instar Books that aims to be “the complete history of the internet, one book at a time, so be sure to check out the other books here!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d write a whole dang book, let alone do an AMA so let’s do this! AMA about Google Glass, augmented reality, the internet, writing, and anything else that comes to mind!

EDIT (5pm ET): I'm going to step out and make dinner but I'll be back to answer any questions I missed in a pinch. This has been so much fun, thanks for all the great questions!

Edit #2 (much later): For those who prefer it, the book is now available on Amazon! Woohoo!
