Books by Daniel Suarez
Freedom™
by Daniel Suarez
· published 2010 · read 2014-02-13
★★★★☆
Builds very well on Daemon, and while it sure is a nerd power fantasy in the end, the execution is good.
Daemon
by Daniel Suarez
· published 2006 · read 2011-03-01
★★★★☆
Great AI story. I liked it a lot, 'cause I'm a nerd. It's too into showing off that all the research has been done, so probably less readable to non-nerds. Though at this point, reality has caught up sufficiently that the whole thing should be transparent to everybody. Chapeau, Mr Suarez.
Influx
by Daniel Suarez
· published 2014 · read 2018-07-11
★☆☆☆☆
Influx by Daniel Suarez was disappointing, especially since I enjoyed Daemon. Influx bore all the marks of a sub-par action movie, with one Deus ex Machina chasing the next, random high-powered technology spawning all along, a big reveal (oh no! everybody knew!), and characters who are flat, and either Good™ or Evil™. It didn't help that I disagreed fundamentally with the barely-veiled message Suarez tries to bring across (don't ever hide innovation, kids, or you may bring about the end of the world). Even the writing was way over-the-top to make readers see every scene as part of a generic action movie. Very meh.
