About this ebook
A man is found brutally murdered - and the only possible perpetrator happens to be dead. As more killings follow, it becomes clear that mass carnage is being planned and organised from beyond the grave.
The Daemon - a lethal and seemingly unstoppable computer program - is responsible and murder is the least of its capabilities. Masterminded by a twisted genius, the Daemon inhabits the systems on which society depends. In a world where everyone and everything is online, nothing is out of its reach. And as we are all connected, there is no escape...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is very well written and keeps you guessing what is going on and where it is headed. The tech side starts off very believably, and is all the more scary because of it, but as the book goes on the tech gets more and more advanced until it is something that should be set a couple of decades in the future. It requires a certain suspension of disbelief to people with tech know how, but if you do so you are rewarded with a great ride into a scary technological future.

I was drawn to this book because I've recently became interested in how being always connected could turn out. The book pays so much attention to the minor details that It felt like its a prophecy of things to come ! I hope they release a movie !

My favourite author at the moment. He wrote these books a while back before most of the tech existed. Makes you wonder if its all really possible today. Would recommend Freedom and Kill Decision as well.
