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.
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.
I was wildly tired last night, so picked this up. Pretty compulsive read so far.
It was compulsive in parts, but once you got all the pieces, less so. I like the idea behind it - very scarey and he's good at pushing the concept - but the books is too dependent on action verbs and caractures. I skimmed pages and pages. Still I'll probably, at the very least, skim the second to find out what happens.
