"Daemon" and "Freedom" by Daniel Suarez.

[Gannon]

Has anyone read "Daemon" and "Freedom" by Daniel Suarez. A friend told me about them and they are a great read.

The blub for Daemon reads -

Technology, it controls nearly everything in our world, from remote enrtry on our cars, and the flight conrtols of our airplanes to the movements of the entire world economy.
Thousands of simple and autonomous computer programs, or daemons, make our networked world possible, running constantly in the background of our lives. Daemons traffic e-mail. Daemons transfer money. Daemons monitor power grids. These daemons are pervasive and, for the most part, benign.
But the same can't always be said for the people who design them.
Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designer- the billionaire architect behind half a dozen popular online games. His premature death depressed millions of gamers around the world. But Sobol's fans aren't the only ones to note his passing.When his obituary is posted online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events that may unravel the fabric of the hyperefficient interconnected world Sobol left behind.
With Sobol's secrets buried along with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed at every turn, it's up to an unlikely alliance to decipher his intricate plans and wrest the world from the grasp of a nameless, faceless enemy- or learn to live in a society in which we are no longer in control.

I know it sounds like its all been done before but it is a joy to read and the author keeps the pace cracking along. The story finish's with "Freedom".

I would love to hear from people who have read these books and what they thought of them.

I listened to Daemon couple of months ago and thought it was a good story. Kept me on the edge of my seat,plan on listening to his other 3 books hope they are as good as Daemon.
