Synopsis
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... When the obituary of legendary computer game architect Matthew Sobol appears online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events that begins to unravel our interconnected world. This daemon reads news headlines, recruits human followers, and orders assassinations. With Sobol's secrets buried with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed, it's up to Detective Peter Sebeck to stop a self-replicating virtual killer before it achieves its ultimate purpose--one that goes far beyond anything Sebeck could have imagined..."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
"Daemon does for surfing the web what Jaws did for swimming in the ocean...both entertaining and credible...an impressive debut novel."--Chicago Sun-Times
"A chilling yet entirely plausible story of technology gone awry."--St. Petersburg Times "Fiendishly clever...an almost perfect guilty-pleasure novel."--The Dallas Morning News "A riveting debut."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This thrill-a-nanosecond novel is certainly faithful to the techno-traditions of Michael Crichton and should delight not only readers of the 'science gone awry' genre, but general adventure readers as well."--Booklist "Suarez's not-just-for-gamers debut is a stunner."--Kirkus Reviews "Greatest. Technothriller. Period. Suarez presents a fascinating account of autonomous logic-based terrorism, incorporating current and anticipated technologies to create a credible and quite clever story."--William O'Brien, Former Director of Cybersecurity and Communications Policy, The White House "Daemon is the real deal--a scary look at what can go wrong as we depend increasingly on computer networks."--Craig Newmark, Founder CraigslistFrom the Back Cover
Matthew Sobel is dead, but his final creation survives.
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 is seemingly unstoppable, and murder is the least of its capabilities.
A lethal program designed by a twisted genius, the Daemon inhabits the systems on which an increasingly interconnected society depends. In a world where everyone and everything is online, nothing is out of its reach.
Just don't turn on that computer...
