Daniel Suarez's New York Times bestselling 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.

This daemon reads news headlines, recruits human followers, and orders assassinations.

Customer reviews:• By on 1 July 2017 This book was a complete surprise, an excellent read. When I read this originally the technology described was in early stages of development and had limited use in the modern world, but now loads of it used to this day.The book was almost foretelling events to come!The story was interesting and kept me reading, which I found especially impressive as I usually read high/ epic fantasy.If you are into modern style SciFi and technology novels I do recommend this, even if you aren't this is worth a read or at least a try. • By on 12 April 2009 The more I think about it, the more I like this book. Yes, it's really easy to compare it unfavourably with William Gibson but I think that is really missing the point. Gibson, especially in his later works, is much more about cultural shifts, collisions and elisions. This is far more about hardware.In style, then, it seems more sort of Richard Morgan but happily, although violent, not as violent as that.

It is a rip roaring good yarn, belting along at an increasing rate, perhaps sacrificing depth of character for speed of narrative but still engrossing.There is a point to it; yes, there's loads of technogeeky acronyms and terminology - ISP, TCP/IP, DHCP, network topologies etc. But there is a purpose. This is where some comparison to Gibson is perhaps relevant. Suarez is interested in the development of the technology and the relationship of technology to society. He's also interested in historical breaks, hiatus's, watersheds.

That's what the book is about. Gibson covers the same ground, but regards the technology from a cultural/social perspective. Suarez, on the other hand, regards the cultural and social from the technology.Look, it's easy to see what Suarez is about - look at the 'further reading' at the back. Kevin Phillips,P. Singer and others. He could equally have listed Thomas Frank. What Suarez is suggesting is a new model, a new paradigm - instead of a top-down plutocracy, maybe a P2P (peer-to-peer) distributed society. It's a really interesting idea.

In its way, it is a Utopian/Dystopian novel; the dispossessed, the marginal and the rejected against the corporates, the plutocrats, the outsourced.At the start of the book, you know who the good guys are and you know who the bad guys are. But slowly, the morality becomes increasingly ambiguous until all alternatives look equally amoral. And so the end comes as no disappointment - it works, it fits. It leaves you thinking.
