Our view
“Freedom” completes the story begun in “Daemon” so directly that the two read as halves of a single techno-thriller. Daniel Suarez uses a self-running computer program that reshapes the real world to ask how power should be spread and how fragile a functioning society is; the technology is inventive, and the ideas give it weight. Read the first book before this one.
