In first-time novelist Saurez’s debut novel a malicious virus – called a daemon in the book - designed by a mega-rich game designer in the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs income bracket named Matthew Sobol is spread over the Internet...

...The daemon is clearly up to something: recruiting people in the real world to do its bidding – but what exactly is it up to? At one point it dispatches all of the spammers across the globe by killing them off using hired death squads (one can only dream) – but this isn’t its end goal however. (By the way the death of the spammers results in a 70% increase in Internet throughput! Yay!)
