What if our civilization is more advanced than we know?
The New York Times best-selling author of Daemon - "the cyberthriller against which all others will be measured" (Publishers Weekly) - imagines a world in which decades of technological advances have been suppressed in an effort to prevent disruptive change.
Are smartphones really humanity's most significant innovation since the moon landings? Or can something else explain why the bold visions of the 20th century - fusion power, genetic enhancements, artificial intelligence, cures for common diseases, extended human life, and a host of other world-changing advances - have remained beyond our grasp? Why has the high-tech future that seemed imminent in the 1960s failed to arrive?
Perhaps it did arrive…but only for a select few.
Particle physicist Jon Grady is ecstatic when his team achieves what they've been working toward for years: A device that can reflect gravity. Their research will revolutionize the field of physics - the crowning achievement of a career. Grady expects widespread acclaim for his entire team. The Nobel Prize. Instead, his lab is locked down by a shadowy organization whose mission is to prevent at all costs the social upheaval sudden technological advances bring. This Bureau of Technology Control uses the advanced technologies they have harvested over the decades to fulfill their mission.
They are living in our future.
Presented with the opportunity to join the BTC and improve his own technology in secret, Grady balks, and is instead thrown into a nightmarish high-tech prison built to hold rebellious geniuses like himself. With so many great intellects confined together, can Grady and his fellow prisoners conceive of a way to usher humanity out of its artificial dark age?
And when they do, is it possible to defeat an enemy that wields a technological advantage half a century in the making?

Reseñas de la Crítica
"You'll hear a lot of reviewers compare Suarez to [Michael] Crichton, including me for his previous book Kill Decision. And Suarez deserved the honor in the truest sense...he had achieved a truly Crichton-level of storytelling. But with Influx, Suarez becomes the master, and Crichton is the one who is honored by the comparison." (Stephen L. Macknik, Scientific American)
"[Influx is] done with the dazzling sophistication, the play of ideas, the hints of a new understanding almost within our grasp that characterize sci-fi in the cybertronic age." (The Wall Street Journal)
“With this terrifying thriller, Suarez provides further support for the proposition that he’s a worthy successor to the late Michael Crichton… Suarez once again mixes science and fiction perfectly.”(Publishers Weekly, starred review)

What was one of the most memorable moments of Influx?
Finding out who "Leroy Jenkins" really is outside of WoW.Any additional comments?
Let me say one thing about this book, "Physics rocks!"I had high hopes for this book being such a fan of the three previous books to this point. I was greatly satisfied. It had me reading at lunch at work, at work, and up late at night. Its not like the other books, but in its self a great work of Sci-Fi.
It was a great read(Listen) , and highly recommend this book if you love tech, and Scf-Fi.
Only one thing I had to get over, John Grady sounded just like John Ross. My mind resolved it quickly.
Was not disappointed at all !

What did you like best about Influx? What did you like least?
The idea was kind of cool, that there is a government agency collecting scientific advances that would be too early to introduce to the world. Everything else was dull.Would you recommend Influx to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend Suarez's first book Daemon, not any of his other books.Any additional comments?
I have read and listened to all of Daniel Suarez's books and they keep getting worse. The first book Daemon was great, then the books started getting more boring by each book released.It is also very irritating that the resolution is so short. The book is almost 14 hours long. The tensions builds up during the whole book and then the end and conclusion is something like 15 minutes. It is like Suarez has thought about the beginning and middle but not the end. Don't just give me the "they lived happily ever after" ending, give me something more.Good narration, boring story

Narration seemed to follow the exact same trajectory as well. Influx isn’t in the same galaxy as Daemon and Trademark, but it’s still a fun read, nonetheless.
Fantastic > Very Good > Umm... > WTF?!

Where does Influx rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Loved the book. Probably my favorite by Suarez so far. Although Kill Decision was amazing too, and so was Daemon, oh and Freedom too! They're all good!Techno Thriller is Killer!
