Summary
The propulsive, shockingly plausible sequel to New York Times best seller Daemon.
In one of the most buzzed-about debuts, Daniel Suarez introduced a terrifying vision of a new world order, controlled by the Daemon, an insidious computer program unleashed by a hi-tech wunderkind. Daemon captured the attention of the tech community, became a New York Times and Indie best seller, and left listeners hungry for more. Well, more is here, and it's even more gripping than its predecessor.
In the opening chapters of Freedom, the Daemon is firmly in control, using an expanded network of real-world, dispossessed darknet operatives to tear apart civilization and rebuild it anew. Soon civil war breaks out in the American Midwest, in a brutal wave of violence that becomes known as the Corn Rebellion. Former detective Pete Sebeck, now the Daemon's most powerful - though reluctant - operative, must lead a small band of enlightened humans toward a populist movement designed to protect the new world order. But the private armies of global business are preparing to crush the Daemon once and for all.
In a world of conflicted loyalties, rapidly diminishing human power, and the possibility that anyone can be a spy, what's at stake is nothing less than human freedom's last hope to survive the technology revolution.
Critic reviews
"Freedom™ surpasses its smart, exciting predecessor. This concluding volume crackles with electrifying action scenes and bristles with intriguing ideas about a frightening, near-future world. The two books combined form the cyberthriller against which all others will be measured.” (Publishers Weekly [starred review]
“Suarez continues his popular technothriller, and Daemon fans will be well be pleased with the exciting conclusion.” (Booklist)
"An engrossing, fast-paced tale of speculative fiction." (SF Site)

Grounded Imagination
Great narration on this, multiple voices, gender and nationality work really well
Story is great with some interesting ideas and fast pace.
Most things happen suddenly however which becomes tiresome. Just take the word out . half the time it's not needed.

Fantastic Book
I read/listened to Daemon and as soon as it had finished, downloaded the second book in the story - Freedom. It was equally brilliant. I remain in awe at how a book written 10 years ago could so brilliant encapsulate modern technological concepts, making this book less science fiction and more a growing possibility. A good sign is when the book is over and you want more - in this case, I would love to know how life unfolds from here on. A brilliant book. Highly recommended. Please can I buy the film rights.

Full of predictions
Exciting read. A few of the characters are underutilised and both books end a little flat, but the scope of the plot is ambitious and well-executed. Recommend

Absolutely Excellent
The story was fantastic and the narrator brings it alive. It's the second time that I've listened to it and will likely do so again.
