Putting together an anthology around the concept of augmented reality has been one of my goals since I first heard about the technology. Â After many years of trying to make it happen, I was finally able to pull it off this year. Â I’m extremely excited to announce that the Mirror Shards Anthology (Volume One) is now available in paperback and electronic formats.
EXPLORE the edge of augmented reality in thirteen tales from thirteen fantastic authors. When the digital world collides with our real one, bringing all its problems and benefits, mankind will have to relearn what it means to be human.Â
In this glimpse of possible futures, you will go on the hunt to track down a fugitive on the other side of the known Universe. Learn the price of ubiquitous knowledge, or find peace and understanding in the absence of it. Dive deep into the ocean to avert a kidnapping using only the tools at hand. Experience new realities underwritten by an alien love of entertainment. Find hidden truths contained within our smallest gestures.  Hide something so valuable, it would drive a man to crime. Or find that sometimes, what it doesn’t hide is what endangers us most.
