Disambiguated, Desperately

There are a number of links in the Wikipedia referring to a book titled Mirrorshades (eg J._G._Ballard)

Proposed Content

Mirrorshades can refer to:

Mirrorshades (fashion) a type of sunglasses
Mirrorshades (book) a cyberpunk anthology by Bruce Sterling

{{disambig}} Mirrorshades was also a song by Information Society, I think it was from the album HACK.

So what's the history of this product, does anybody know? This is merely conjecture on my part: but due to NASA's extensive work on reflective visors during the 60s, my guess would be that they pioneered a lot of this technology prior to its being offered on the open market. If this were true, it would seem that the prototypes for the mirrored sunglasses would be tested on and be popular with the astronauts, long before being identified with being "cop shades". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.93.111.180 (talk) 21:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't Florida make it illegal for officers to wear them to avoid a cliche? The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 06:07, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
