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)

Top 5 fave books

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

Wow wow WOW!!

What did you like best about this story?

It takes the plausible and projects it on today's events

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

The end was very interesting, again, especially given today's social/economical/political climate.

Any additional comments?

This and Daemon have to be one of my top 5 fiction reads ever. Hope they make a movie.

WOW... went beyond my expectations.

Suarez has solidified himself as one of my favorite authors. In this sequel to the Daemon the same characters are back but have been transformed by the Daemon. Sebeck, Ross, Merrit, Phillips - are characters you come to attain deep admiration and respect for the more you read. He takes the antagonist in book one and flips it on its head so you see things from an alternate perspective and shows how even our thoughts and beliefs about systems and technologies evolve. His references to technology are very well utilized and add many suprises to the work. If you ever wondered how life would be like with augmented reality Suarez does a good job describing it. This book has great ideas and inspires great ideas. It's defenitley on my top 5 books ever read along with the Daemon.

Good follow up on the Daemon Series

I loved the book and the concept that it represents. It presents a brighter future for humanity based upon technology. Less control and more freedom. It is the same model that today's online businesses are following to dominate their brick and mortar competitors.
