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... Explosive, action-packed, terrifyingly relevant, Daemon redefines the high-concept thriller for the information age.

Very interesting techno-thriller that gets the computer stuff correct.
I think somewhere around the time the cop has a martial arts battle with his mistress is where I started to realize this book was not for me. I stuck it out for a while after but I found that I just was not really intrigued by any of the mystery and the action was a little too much like a bad 80s movie. I think this book will actually work for a lot of people. It isn't really ‘bad'. It's just not for me at all.
Some very interesting ideas, almost more interesting than the story being told. I was discomforted to find myself switching allegiance halfway through the book, wanting the “good guys” to stop fighting against the Daemon.
