"Successful parasites don’t kill us; they become part of us, making us perform all the work to keep them alive and help them reproduce."
What an incredible novel!! It's harder and harder for me to find fiction that really draws me in and consumes me. This book gripped me from start to finish and I really wish I didn't have a virtual stack of library books waiting to be read because it's gonna be difficult to wait to read book two.
If you like techno-thrillers, this is a must read. It blends AI with gaming and shows how quickly technology can be used to take over everything in our modern society.
It asks the questions, does democracy stand a chance against AI and what happens if the right technology gets into the wrong hands?
Such a fun and thrilling story and one I can't wait to get back into with book two!
"I suspect that democracy is not viable in a technologically advanced society. Free people wield too much ability to destroy."

Great review, terrifying premise Jenna.

That quotes gives us something to think about. Glad this one made you yearning for more.
This sounds very clever - and very scary! You'll have to tell us whether the world is saved in book 2. :-)

I'm very curious how they're going to possibly stop the daemon though, it having infiltrated just about every computer in the world as well as recruited thousands of people to its cause.
"It asks the questions, does democracy stand a chance against AI and what happens if the right technology gets into the wrong hands?"A scary question to contemplate! Terrific review, Jenna!
Oooooh, now you've made me want to read it! *Scuttles off to see if library carries it.....*

Thanks, Candi, and scary indeed! Civilization could be destroyed so easily if one had the "right" tools and the know-how to use them.

Regrettably it turn out to be no-go. I sometimes find that with American friends - the books you recommend don't seem to always to cross the ocean so well....

Not my genre but I trust your opinion, Jenna :))
Thanks, Beata; it's good we all have different preferences or there'd be a lot fewer books in the world!
