For example, the Daemon initially stays below the radar of the government by recruiting from within a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which skews toward a younger demographic and not older FBI agents. When the Daemon detects (via the web) that Sobol has died, it springs into action.Ī wider audience can enjoy Daemon, but computer science and techie folks will especially enjoy how plausible some of the ideas are. Sobol writes a program called the Daemon that scans news sites on the web for stories about his death. In Daemon, a software tycoon and game designer named Matthew Sobol is dying. If you have read it, Suarez picks up where the first book ended.ĭaemon and Freedom are set in a future tantalizingly close to the present. If you haven’t read Suarez’s earlier book Daemon then you should read that Daemon first. 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.I recently got to read Freedom, the new book by Daniel Suarez, and can highly recommend it.
But the private armies of global business are preparing to crush the Daemon once and for all. 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. Soon civil war breaks out in the American Midwest, in a brutal wave of violence that becomes known as the Corn Rebellion. In the opening chapters of Freedom(tm), the Daemon is firmly in control, using an expanded network of real-world, dispossessed darknet operatives to tear apart civilization and rebuild it anew.
Well, more is here, and it's even more gripping than its predecessor.
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 bestseller, and left readers hungry for more. The propulsive, shockingly plausible sequel to New York Times bestseller Daemon.
