Glass

More about the book

Pause and look, and you will see that you are surrounded by glass: from mirrors to iPhone screens to glass you drink from. Taking up a most common object, rarely considered because assumed to be transparent, Glass draws evocative connections between historical depictions of glass and emergent discourses within the technology sector that envision glass as holding unique promise for new forms of interaction. Grounded in examples familiar to most readers, this book offers a series of surprising - often counter-intuitive - insights into how we see the world and see ourselves in the world.
