It is kind of scary when you think that this story is something that could possibly be pulled off in real life.Ībout the computer and gaming termionolgy in the book – I have a computer background, but no gaming background, and I think that even if you have neither you can still follow along. But noooo, not this one! However, that is my only complaint about the book. I mean, most books that have sequels at least wrap up a little bit at the end. But…the book just ended – boom -l ike that! Once I got over the shock, it seemed obvious that a sequel must be planned, but I didn’t know that at the time (now I do), and I was a bit put off by how it ended. The book was fantastic, and I couldn’t wait to get in my car and listen to more. That is the only reason I am giving this book a 4 instead of a 5. Review 2: Daemon audiobook by Liza Klosterman It Had Me From The Start… Read some sample chapters of Daemon if you need more convincing. Check it out from the library, buy it online, or borrow it, just find a way to read it. Everyone from the CEO who has only the vaguest understanding of his IT infrastructure to the mail room guy who goes home to play WoW for 8 hours to the advertising exec who only knows how to check his email. There is no reason for you not to read Daemon, no matter your level of technical understanding. Vague, I know, but I’m trying very hard not to spoil the fun of this book. To use a common cliche, he “gets it.” Actually he gets it, gets into its inner workings, and turns it inside out.
No no, my friends, this is not the book equivalent of Hackers (you know where code magically floats across the screen and other cheap tricks), this is a book written by a systems consultant (read: normally the guy that gets called in with the regular schmoes can’t figure things out) for Fortune 100 companies.
All those words/phrases can be found in this book. Then think about those subjects again.Ī few words to the techies: SQL injection attack, botnet, and rootkit. Read some of the recent news about the Storm botnet. Without giving away some of the plot points, I’ll just say this. While I was reading Daemon the thought that this could really happen kept going through my head. So, another book about computers taking over the world. If you’re content in knowing the information provided in the title and would like to skip the praise I’m about to bestow and just buy the book. Review 1: Daemon audiobook by Erica Possibly The Best Techno-thriller Ever Here are the top 3 reviews and comments that readers love about this fascinating book. Computer programs run in the background, waiting for a specific event or time to execute. It is the New York Times best-selling debut high-tech horror film.
