The title of this blog post refers to the captivating novel, Daemon by Daniel Suarez which you can get on Amazon and  Audible, if you are lazy and prefer being read to. It is a worth read for all.

The official name of the project is simply Project Glass and at the moment, includes of a few photos, a completely blank Google+ page, and a concept video that is still quite a way from reality.
