What is the Niantic Project?In November 2012, a series of leaks began to emerge, revealing a conspiracy that would reshape the destiny of mankind. Exotic Matter Portals, Ordered Data, a mind-altering signal that some say can change the way we think, and Ingress, a government tool camouflaged as a mobile phone game. P.A. Chapeau’s Investigation began with revelations about ‘The Niantic Project,’ a secret government think tank run by a defunct intelligence agency, and continued on, ultimately revealing a hidden movement to co-opt the highest positions of leadership in governments and cultural power-centers worldwide.From the initial discovery of the Niantic Project in The Sphere of Weirdness to the unearthing of a global conspiracy in Operation Cassandra, each document from P.A. Chapeau’s daily investigation is presented here, in Volume 1 of The Niantic Project Files.
A must-read for every Ingress player interested in knowing what we are fighting for. It's a bit difficult to read as a normal book as it is filled with coded messages, links to videos, audios, websites, etc. But it's completely worth the effort. I recommend paying attention to the dates in the book and following the Ingress Report video series in YouTube and Google+ posts in the same order.
