The New York Times bestseller Daemon unleashed a terrifying technological vision of an all-powerful, malicious computer program. Now, our world is the Daemon's world—unless someone stops it once and for all...

The Daemon is in absolute control, using an expanded network of shadowy operatives to tear apart civilization and build it anew. Even as civil war breaks out in the American Midwest in a wave of nightmarish violence, former detective Pete Sebeck—the Daemon's most powerful, though reluctant, operative—must lead a small band of enlightened humans in a movement designed to protect the new world order.

But the private armies of global business are preparing to crush the Daemon once and for all. In a world of shattered loyalties, collapsing societies, and seemingly endless betrayal, the only thing worth fighting for may be nothing less than the freedom of all humankind.

And about face from Daemon

ByDKEon May 14, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Daemon was a 5-star unexpected delight and I was certain that Freedom would not disappoint, no matter how far the story might stray from its original course. But I was wrong. This is a totally different book.

I had several problems with Freedom. First there is the reversal of the heroes and villains in the first book. That would not have been a dealbreaker except I didn't buy into the author's apparent rationale. All the brutal killings from the first book as well as the further terrorist acts in this book are glossed over and presented as a necessary evil in order to save humanity. But it really was never clearly stated what humanity is being saved from. I think Matthew Sobel's soliloquies from beyond the grave are meant to explain it all in Yoda-like fashion, but fail to make a compelling or clear case. Corporations and government are the real bad guys now apparently, the misunderstood daemon is really just an agent for sustainability, and most people don't have a problem with joining a group that murders thousands of people it sees as an obstacle to its goals for society and a green earth. The boobytrap mansion, death machines and wizard-tech are much more believable than the actions of the characters in this book.

The writing itself is entertaining which is why I gave it three stars. Unfortunately the characters I enjoyed in the first book are different people in the book, Freedom, which was the biggest disappointment for me.

Good new writer, fun cyberpunk. Been a while since I could say that.

ByMatthew D. Joyceon April 22, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I'm a distributed systems expert, so this was right up my alley. The tech was basically solid, though in reality unworkable. Suspending disbelief is generally pretty easy for me, so I was enjoying the ride. The character development was weak, but I blame the complexity of the story line for that. This book reads more like a movie than a book.

I think if the author returns to the theme after developing his writing skills this could be a truly amazing work. For now, it's fun and a great beach read. Or commuter read. Whatever. I recommend the read to anyone who enjoys Neal Asher, William Gibson, or Neal Stephenson. This is a fairly accessible read from my perspective but I am not sure how it will play for a neophyte in the technology world.

So four stars. Enjoyed the read, will keep an eye on the author. Even took the time to write a review.

Who should have the power?

ByDan LeithauserVINE VOICEon February 19, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is probably the tenth recent read resulting from Amazon recommendations. The themes of a superior force or intelligence taking over is an old one in science fiction. And while computers and AI have often played a (key) role, Daniel Suarez, starting with Daemon and its continuation, Freedom, takes it to another level. Daemon is not quite the evolving AI that some other writers have played with, but the results are the same. We learn early in the prior book that Daemon is based on a sophisticated game platform, responding to and learning from its players. Those players are playing in an overlaid world upon our own, bringing another reality forward. There are those that will fight this game, because they view it as destructive. There are those that want to control the game to gain power over others. And, there are those seeking both revolution and evolution towards a better, more sustainable life.

Without giving anything away, the best part of this current theme in science fiction is that all the current writers love to deal with the new economic paradigms presented by automated control of production, steady state "growth", and the initial consequences of the revolution. Freedom completes a great story with believable characters and fast paced story plots converging into a climactic ending. Although there are some surprises, if you have read other stories like this, lots seems familiar and predictable. That is not a bad thing, only a caution that if you are reading these types of stories like me, you may want to throw some other sci-fi in the mix to break it up a bit.

I liked Daemon and Freedom, and found them hard to put down, especially as the pace picks up.
The action makes you turn the pages, and the interesting economics may fascinate you.

If I may also recommend the following:

Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears (Singularity Series) --closely related and similar story
Nexus --a bit different in that the "intelligence" is really a collective human network--I LOVED Nexus and its followup Crux. Highly recommended and must read!
The Circle --again, slightly different and a little more contrived, but entertaining. The social network leading the revolution. This one really spooked me due to its very near future potential.

Somewhat confusing compared to Daemon

ByCoachDon January 27, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I read and loved Daemon But I read it several years ago when it first came out (2009). I then bought the hardback of "Freedom", but waited until I got it on my Kindle to read. I guess I should not have waited so long between books to read.

I did not really enjoy "Freedom" as much as I did "Daemon". I found it somewhat confusing. Who were the bad guys? Was the Daemon good or bad? I guess I forgot about the Major and Loki (both looked pretty bad to me).

Still, the author paints a very scary future for mankind....

Lord knows it is hard enough to get kids and adults away from their electronic toys/phones (so says the guy with a Kindle) for more than a few minutes, but to actually live in a world where dealing with D-Space and constant social media would be a little too much for me.

If you love hi-tech stories, "Daemon" & "Freedom" are right for you.

If you liked Daemon, don't bother with this one

ByBrian Goetzon May 20, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I loved Daemon (and the most recent, Change Agent), but I was very disappointed with Freedom. It violated the cardinal rule of future-fiction, which is not to invent new capabilities and technology halfway through the book. And it was mostly devoid of the societal questions that suffuse Daemon; this was just about the chase, which was really not all that compelling.
