Daemon - Daniel Suarez

We've had the arc of this for ages but we just got the book in so I took the arc home and it pushed the Alexander arc to the sidelines

This is a fast-paced tech thriller in the vein of William Gibson, Tom Clancy etc if you want a book for the video gamer in your household then this is it.
Computer genius Matthew Sobol is dead and on the day his obituary hits the internet it triggers events that will change the world. Two of Sobol's employees die within hours of each other and no one knows what they were working on. Detective Seebeck will take his last case, Anji Anderson will be fired from her TV fluff spot and Jon Ross will fix a server problem that could cost him his liberty and even his life. Something is controlling their destinies something created by a dead man.
I came away from this book with a what if vibe. Suarez' vision of a new world order is chilling but highly plausible and if you want happy endings this isn't the book for you!
