About this eBook
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.

Among the action and a gripping quest for freedom, this story gives glimpses of a possible high tech future which is centred around sustainable communities without our current power structures.

It starts slow...but maaan when it gets going its unputdownable. I was recomendet this book after I read "Ready player one" (another amazing book). And this book is every bit as unique and it gets in to your head.

Possibly the best modern sci fi I've ever read. Brilliant and original.

About the author
Daniel Suarez has designed software for the defence, finance and entertainment industries. He originally self-published DAEMON when rejected by mainstream publishers and agents. Blog raves, Amazon raves, and a feature in Wired magazine turned the book deservedly into a runaway hit. He lives in California, USA.
