The propulsive, shockingly plausible sequel to New York Times bestseller Daemon, the "Greatest. Techno-thriller. Period."*
*William O'Brien, former director of cybersecurity and communications systems policy at the White House
2009 saw one of the most inventive techno-thriller debuts in decades as Daniel Suarez introduced his terrifying and tantalizing vision of a new world order. Daemon captured the attention of the tech
community, became a national bestseller, garnered attention from
futurists, literary critics, and the halls of government-leaving readers clamoring for the conclusion to Suarez's epic story.
In the opening chapters of Freedom(tm), the Daemon is well on its way toward firm control of the modern world,
using an expanded network of real-world, dispossessed darknet operatives to tear apart civilization and rebuild it anew. Civil war breaks out in the American Midwest, with the mainstream media stoking public fear in
the face of this 'Corn Rebellion'. Former detective Pete Sebeck, now the Daemon's most famous and most reluctant operative, must lead a small
band of enlightened humans in 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 government control, and a new
choice between free will and the continuing comforts of ignorance, the
stakes could not be higher: hanging in the balance is nothing less than
democracy's last hope to survive the technology revolution.
