À propos de cet audio

 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...©2009 Daniel Suarez; (P)2009 Penguin Audio Science-fiction Suspense Techno-thrillers Thrillers et romans à suspense Technologie Fiction Cyberpunk Effrayant Jeux vidéo Sécurité informatique

Ce que les critiques en disent

“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 Craigslist

I live this book so much. A few years ago, a co-worker gave me an audio copy to listen to and have found it time and again to 'scratch the itch' over the years. Intense writing and exciting situations. A wonderful combo in the hands of such a skilled writer.

Fantastic writing

Unexpected, thrilling and totally engaging - Jeff Gurner makes it compelling storytelling. Another brilliant story from Daniel Suarez.

Amazing sci-fi

Overall I thought this was a great book that was a good mix of techno thriller, action, and sci-fi. Two things I wish were different though: 1) The non-techno people seemed aggressively non-techno and hated technology and people who liked it. Getting angry at people for explaining it. It just felt like a repeating theme that got annoying at times. 2) The last part "action" of the book felt like it dragged a bit for me - I kept thinking "ok just get to the end so we know what happens". But I'm being nit picky and I still really enjoyed this listen!

Great overall except for two things

This is the only way the future can rid of rivalrous behaviour. The path to Game B.

Masterpiece

Story of a computer genius that sets about changing the world after his death. The story starts out slow and by the end you have no clue where you are being taken, you just have to sit back and enjoy the ride.

The performance was great, I thoroughly enjoyed the production, narration and the enthusiasm of the performance.

Interesting tale of a Ghost in the Machine
