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)

Great listen!

I thoroughly enjoyed both the first book, the Deamon and this book Freedom, I love the technical descriptions and how believable the plot became the more I listened.

Remarkable conclusion to this epic

Daniel Suarez advances and concludes his amazing work from Daemon. We see impressive and frighteningly realistic advances in technology and society. This book straddles the overlapping timelines and concepts of pre-apocalypse, apocalypse, and post-apocalyptic elements of struggles involved personal, economic, and social transitions.
Many thought provoking and conceptual challenges involving spectacular character development have the reader questioning real world issues.
It is strongly plot and character driven. Some of the greatest moments are the ones that delve deeper into the hearts of the characters as a group and as individuals.

Very well narrated with each character, especially minor ones, having a unique and distinctive voice. Captivating and well told.

Strongly recommend.

Other books of interest may by Ilium by Dan Simons and the Baroque Cycle by Neil Stephenson.

Thank you for reading.

Great story

This audiobook is extremely engrossing. I hated turning it off in my car each day as I arrived at my destination. It was certainly a worthy sequel to daemon.
