The propulsive, shockingly plausible sequel to New York Times bestseller Daemon

In one of the most buzzed-about debuts of 2009, Daniel Suarez introduced a terrifying vision of a new world order, controlled by the Daemon, an insidious computer program unleashed by a hi-tech wunderkind, Daemon captured the attention of the tech community, became a New York Times and Indie bestseller, and left readers hungry for more.

Well, more is here, and it's even more gripping than its predecessor.

In the opening chapters of Freedom(tm), the Daemon is firmly in control, using an expanded network of real-world, dispossessed darknet operatives to tear apart civilization and rebuild it anew. Soon civil war breaks out in the American Midwest, in a brutal wave of violence that becomes known as the Corn Rebellion. Former detective Pete Sebeck, now the Daemon's most powerful-though reluctant-operative, must lead a small band of enlightened humans toward a populist 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 conflicted loyalties, rapidly diminishing human power, and the possibility that anyone can be a spy, what's at stake is nothing less than human freedom's last hope to survive the technology revolution.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Bestseller Suarez's sequel to Daemon (2009), in which the late, mad-genius game designer Matthew Sobol launched a cyber war on humanity, surpasses its smart, exciting predecessor. This concluding volume crackles with electrifying action scenes and bristles with intriguing ideas about a frightening, near-future world. Sobol's bots continue to roam the Internet, inciting mayhem and siphoning money from worldwide, interconnected megacorporations out to seize control of national governments and enslave the populace. FBI special agent Roy Merritt is dead, but still manages to make a dramatic comeback, while detective Pete Sebeck, thought to be executed in Daemon, rises from the supposed grave to lead the fight against the corporations. What the trademark letters affixed to the title signify is anyone's guess. Those who haven't read Daemon should read it first. The two books combined form the cyberthriller against which all others will be measured. (Jan.)

From Booklist

Picking up a few months after the end of Daemon (2009), Suarez continues his popular technothriller and SF saga. The computer program Daemon has taken over the Internet, and millions have joined its virtual world. Now the effect is spilling into the real world as Daemon assumes control of financial institutions, and the program’s real-life converts flock to small towns to re-create a sustainable lifestyle amid the agribusiness monoculture of the Midwest. Despite a slow start, Freedom picks up speed by the second half with Daemon’s supporters and detractors facing off for the control of civilization. Only readers who have also read Daemon will be fully able to enjoy and understand Freedom, as most of the characters and plot elements are drawn directly from the previous story, and only so much backstory is possible, given the elaborate premise. On the other hand, Daemon fans will be well be pleased with the exciting conclusion, as will anyone who enjoys lots of gaming elements and virtual worlds in their science fiction. --Jessica Moyer

And about face from Daemon

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.

Matthew D. Joyce

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

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?

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.
