Summary
Daniel Suarez's New York Times best-selling debut high-tech thriller is “so frightening even the government has taken note” (Entertainment Weekly).
Daemons: computer programs that silently run in the background, waiting for a specific event or time to execute. They power almost every service. They make our networked world possible. But they also make it vulnerable....
When the obituary of legendary computer game architect Matthew Sobol appears online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events that begins to unravel our interconnected world. This daemon reads news headlines, recruits human followers, and orders assassinations. With Sobol’s secrets buried with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed, it’s up to Detective Peter Sebeck to stop a self-replicating virtual killer before it achieves its ultimate purpose - one that goes far beyond anything Sebeck could have imagined....

Critic reviews
“A riveting debut.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
“This thrill-a-nanosecond novel is certainly faithful to the techno-traditions of Michael Crichton and should delight not only readers of the 'science gone awry' genre, but general adventure readers as well.” (Booklist)
“Suarez's not-just-for-gamers debut is a stunner.” (Kirkus Reviews)

My all time favourite story
Read this book, along with its sequel 'Freedom' many times before and now downloaded the audio so I can listen to it on long car journeys or whilst playing my own computer games. It's a fascinating and intriguing story. Suarez is a visionary, much like his character, Sobol. A highly recommended read!

Brilliant tech fuelled adventure
This story was spot in for me. The tech and basis for it all made sense. This was added to by an adventurous string of storylines. The presentation and narration added to excitement of the story too.

Technical and entertaining
I wish this daemon existed. I was equally revolted by its tactics and rooting for its cause.

Slow burner, but did eventually get really cooking
it took a fair bit of resilience to keep going initially. but a few parts warmed up, then it cooled again, then warmed up... then cooled and it was like that for much of the journey until about ⅔ of the way through when it really heated up and cooked on gas till the end.

Finally in the UK!!!
This is one of my favourite books and I have had to wait years for the audible version to reach the UK!
The plot line and ideas are prescient on some levels ... racing on to Freedom Inc!

Ahead of its time, and over all to quickly
Given how fast technology changes the plot could date, though wisely Daniel Suarez used tech terms sparingly as the plot gets going. Before you know it you’re hooked. The only issue was the book ending. Luckily book 2 is ready and your solution😎
Paramount at one time had the rights to this. If anyone gets round to making film it should be a blockbuster.
