“Good thriller but you can get lost in all the technical jargon. Too fatalistic for me.”

Never happened in this book.”

“Quite a good thriller. Some nice ideas, but the characters were all a bit bland.”

However, since I am not as computer literate as the intended audience, I am lost throughout the technical explanations of the daemon itself and of other MIT-level functions. The walkthroughs of the MMORPG's are fascinating and the author's knowledge of police investigations are accurate and exciting. I can't wait for the end!”

Yes | No“I thoroughly enjoyed this book - it's an entertaining story that leaves you with things to think about in terms of the role of technology in today's society and politics, and how the rate of it's rate of change impacts this. Readers familiar with the technical aspects of computer security will also be pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail so often "imaginatively" depicted in books, films an television. ”
