Daemon by Daniel Suarez

Daemon (Daemon, #1)

by Daniel Suarez

A man is found brutally murdered - and the only possible perpetrator happens to be dead. As more killings follow, it becomes clear that mass carnage is being planned and organised from beyond the grave.

The Daemon - a lethal and seemingly unstoppable computer program - is responsible and murder is the least of its capabilities. Masterminded by a twisted genius, the Daemon inhabits the systems on which society depends. In a world where everyone and everything is online, nothing is out of its reach. And as we are all connected, there is no escape...

Explosive, action-packed, terrifyingly relevant, Daemon redefines the high-concept thriller for the information age.

This book is a compete nerdfest. I can’t justify giving it five stars; so four stars will do in the absences of a half star rating. There is a fine line between technical lingo for the nerds and explaining what is happening to the thriller fans, but I think Daniel Suarez did a great job balancing the two. Daemon is exciting and action packed. Every nerd should read it; I really want to know what happens next in the series, I may read Freedom soon.
