“And who is involved in the current conflict, Tom?”

If our machines don’t get demolished by Russo-Chinese machines, our country wins the battle.” I mean, they’re kind of fought by people, because people on Earth control mechanized drones remotely, but the machines do the actual fighting. Tom stopped twirling the virtual pencil and tried to concentrate. Life at the Spire holds everything that Tom’s always wanted-friends, the possibility of a girlfriend, and a life where his every action matters-but what will it cost him? Finally, he’ll be someone important: a superhuman war machine with the tech skills that every virtual-reality warrior dreams of. There, Tom’s instincts for combat will be put to the test and if he passes, he’ll become a member of the Intrasolar Forces, helping to lead his country to victory in World War III. Someone’s been watching his virtual-reality prowess, and he’s offered the incredible- a place at the Pentagonal Spire, an elite military academy. Keeping a roof over their heads depends on a careful combination of skill, luck, con artistry, and staying invisible. For years, Tom’s drifted from casino to casino with his unlucky gambler of a dad, gaming for their survival. More than anything, Tom Raines wants to be important, though his shadowy life is anything but that.

The first book had a green cover, the second was yellow, and the third was red.

The third book ends with Tom being the first astronaut to Mars.

There were at least 3 books last I knew, released circa 2011-2014.

The best fighters from each side of this conflict were something of superstars, but everyone else was kept completely anonymous for their protection.

All the cadets are super dismissive about learning how to program their computer aside from one girl who is super good at it.

The reason they need kids for this has something to do with brain elasticity and putting computers in adults causes them to go mad.

The Pentagon in the US has a super tall tower built in the courtyard called The Spire where most of the three books take place.

The main character's name is Tom, he starts out by conning people at some sort of gambling arcade before he is found and recruited by the 'army'.

The EDA sensor is specifically designed to pick up those tiny changes that occur as a result of micro sweats on the skin and are a result of the activation of the autonomic nervous system.The premise of the story is that there are 2-3 main coalitions on Earth and they fight over resources in the edges of the solar system with spaceships that are controlled from Earth by kids with computers in their heads. There are evolutionary reasons why that occurs. “If you’re public speaking, you’re going on a first date, you’re interviewing for a job, you hands start to sweat a little bit,” explains Freckleton. Addressing 'stress' versus 'mental health' with a wearable seems like a more reasonable ask. Fitbit announced its own version of the technology a few years back, as a method for detecting the wearer’s stress levels. In addition to the standard array of wearable sensors, the startup points to a custom-built EDA (electrodermal activity) detector as the product’s hardware differentiator. We asked the question: can we somehow build a device that can passively start to monitor what’s going on in your brain? If we can do that, can we help people better understand, have the language and better identify what they can do to improve their mental health?”

They weren’t doing anything when it came to mental health or mental states. “But they were really ignoring the elephant, which is your mind. “There were all of these wearables that helped you understand your physical fitness or sleep,” says Rad.

Tinder founder Sean Rad tells TechCrunch he teamed with LVL Technologies founder Dustin Freckleton to determine whether a wearable device can present an accurate picture of its wearer’s mood. It’s a disservice, because there’s obviously something to the notion that our emotional states have physical manifestations in our body. It at once evokes the 70s mood ring fad, while suggesting that the product is punching above its weight in terms of its ability to create a profound transformation in the person who wears it. Ultimately, I don’t think the Happy Ring name does its creators’ ambitions justice. While doctors are increasingly recommending products like the Apple Watch to consumers, they’re best regarded a proxy for monitoring one’s vitals all the time we’re not at the doctor’s office. Nor, of course, can a consumer device diagnose conditions. No wearable is going to replace that - certainly not during our lifetimes. As a rule, it’s best to avoid anything that promises to fix you without the requisite talk therapy and, perhaps, medication. I can recognize, however, that one sets certain expectations by naming a product “Happy Ring.” Mental health is a delicate space, and not something to be taken lightly.
