Publisher's summary

The propulsive, shockingly plausible sequel to New York Times best seller Daemon.

In one of the most buzzed-about debuts, 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 best seller, and left listeners hungry for more. Well, more is here, and it's even more gripping than its predecessor.

In the opening chapters of Freedom, 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.

Critic reviews

"Freedom™ surpasses its smart, exciting predecessor. This concluding volume crackles with electrifying action scenes and bristles with intriguing ideas about a frightening, near-future world. The two books combined form the cyberthriller against which all others will be measured.” (Publishers Weekly [starred review]

“Suarez continues his popular technothriller, and Daemon fans will be well be pleased with the exciting conclusion.” (Booklist)

"An engrossing, fast-paced tale of speculative fiction." (SF Site)

Want more!

When I reviewed the first book I was desperate for more without realizing there was a sequel. Now I am sad again at the closure of this story and the characters. Loved it!

Mind Blowing Story

What made the experience of listening to Freedom (TM) the most enjoyable?

This story followed the first book Daemon so well, it left me smiling at the possibility of something like this could ever be thought up.

What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jeff Gurner is one of the most skilled narrators I've ever heard. An amazing job at effectively changing through so many voices.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Roy Merrit, is all I could say.

Excellent follow up to The Daemon

Gripping story. Gave me a lot to think about. Totally immersive narration. If you liked the Daemon then you absolutely should read Freedom TM.

Fabulous

If you could sum up Freedom (TM) in three words, what would they be?

inspiring, tense, exciting

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

yes, the point when everything looks like there is no chance for the town then the burning man shows up, to the end was an amazing roller coaster.

What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

just the ability to passivly hear the story while doing something else. the voice acting wasn't distracting, and that is the best thing to hope for.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

freedom(tm) isn't free

Any additional comments?

highly suggest this and Daemon to anyone interested in technology. Read Daemon first obviously.

Amazing tech thriller

Great finalizing piece to Daemon. The technology used is not all "smoke and mirrors". Suarez provides an easy to follow explanation of the technology he uses in this novel. Gurner is also a great narrator.
