About the book

The New York Times bestseller Daemon unleashed a terrifying technological vision of an all-powerful, malicious computer program. Now, our world is the Daemon's world—unless someone stops it once and for all...

The Daemon is in absolute control, using an expanded network of shadowy operatives to tear apart civilization and build it anew. Even as civil war breaks out in the American Midwest in a wave of nightmarish violence, former detective Pete Sebeck—the Daemon's most powerful, though reluctant, operative—must lead a small band of enlightened humans in a 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 shattered loyalties, collapsing societies, and seemingly endless betrayal, the only thing worth fighting for may be nothing less than the freedom of all humankind.

    Ich liebe diese Dilogie einfach. Ich habe sie jetzt rund ein dutzend Mal gehört und bin immer noch total überzeugt. Die Story ist überzeugend, die Charaktere vielseitig und haben alle ihre guten und schlechten Seiten und sind somit nicht stereotypisch. Die große Frage "heiligt der Zweck die Mittel" steht im Mittelpunkt der Bücher und diese kann sehr unterschiedlich beantwortet werden. Einige der technischen Aspekte sind für mich unvorstellbar, was aber nicht unbedingt etwas zu heißen hat. Im großen und ganzen ist das Buch aber sehr realistisch und lädt zum mitfiebern ein.

    The ending was brilliant! A lot of thought-provoking concepts were introduced in this book! Very interesting to discuss with fellow book-lovers, for sure! However, I couldn‘t really relate to the characters which made it hard to keep reading. The constant change in POV suits the idea of the book (the division of power among many) but the many names also confused me a lot. Nevertheless, it's worth a try if you're interested in questioning the system you live in and in dire need of a happy ending for once.
