I just finished the audiobook "Daemon" tonight.  Wow, great book!  Daniel Suarez really knows his stuff, and this book exposes a glimpse of one possible scenario of our ever evolving society and our dependence on technology and a global internet.  It all begins when one man's obituary appears online. . .

"Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designer—the architect behind half a dozen popular online games. His premature death from brain cancer depressed both gamers and his company’s stock price. But Sobol’s fans weren’t the only ones to note his passing. He left behind something that was scanning Internet obituaries, too—something that put in motion a whole series of programs upon his death. Programs that moved money. Programs that recruited people. Programs that killed.

Confronted with a killer from beyond the grave, Detective Peter Sebeck comes face-to-face with the full implications of our increasingly complex and interconnected world—one where the dead can read headlines, steal identities, and carry out far-reaching plans without fear of retribution. Sebeck must find a way to stop Sobol’s web of programs—his Daemon—before it achieves its ultimate purpose. And to do so, he must uncover what that purpose is . . ."

Now I can't wait to start reading (listening to) the sequel--"Freedom".

avatar I don't know when you have time to read but that's beside the point. Sounds
like a good book - did you get it from the library? Maybe I can reserve it.

avatar It's an audiobook. You're right, I don't have time to read, which is why I read
audiobooks... I have to drive a lot, so I listen to them mostly when driving to
and from work. Believe it or not, it makes the drive much more entertaining--in
fact, I often wish I could drive even longer to read more, especially during the
exciting parts!
