Heard from John Robb<\/a><\/strong> on twitter that author Daniel Suarez<\/a><\/strong>, creator of the Daemon<\/a><\/strong> sci-fi series<\/a> that he has a new book coming out.<\/p>\n

In Daemon, \u00a0a renegade\u00a0Ai<\/strong>\u00a0program, \u201cthe Daemon\u201d orchestrates and serves\u00a0a darknet of human agents partly through the medium of\u00a0augmented reality\u00a0<\/a>technology. Glasses were the most typical augmented reality interface with the darknet in the novel and they were just slightly ahead of their time.<\/p>\n

Lumus<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is marketing a similar consumer device, which appears to be reaching the early adapter level with the movement towards stylish, sunglasses, design (as opposed to walking around with giant goggles attached by a plethora of wires to a spaghetti collander-like helmet). The crossover from uber-nerdom to cool kidz demographic is a key milestone.<\/p>\n
