Daemon
Daemons: computer programs that silently run in the background, waiting for a specific event or time to execute. They power almost every service. They make our networked world possible. But they also make it vulnerable...
When the obituary of legendary computer game architect Matthew Sobol appears online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events that begins to unravel our interconnected world. This daemon reads news headlines, recruits human followers, and orders assassinations. With Sobol's secrets buried with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed, it's up to Detective Peter Sebeck to stop a self-replicating virtual killer before it achieves its ultimate purpose--one that goes far beyond anything Sebeck could have imagined...

I write the https://t.co/x0cZyEmvYd science and science fiction site - where science meets fiction. 3,700 terms and ideas, and 6,300 articles of sf made real.
@bruces If you recall, what is the science fiction story mentioned here? "...concept reminded me a lot of a Bruce Sterling story that I think first appeared in Wired in the 90s" Btw, Daniel Suarez uses this idea for a kind of crowd manufacturing in "Daemon" (2006)

@shehackspurple The Alien/Predator universe is well-developed outside the movies and the books are decent, and most of the audiobooks of them are decent as well. Daniel Suarez has some fantastic books as well. Daemon, Freedom, and Kill Decision were good.
Praise for this book
"A chilling yet entirely plausible story of technology gone awry."--St. Petersburg Times
"Fiendishly clever...an almost perfect guilty-pleasure novel."--The Dallas Morning News
"A riveting debut."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This thrill-a-nanosecond novel is certainly faithful to the techno-traditions of Michael Crichton and should delight not only readers of the 'science gone awry' genre, but general adventure readers as well."--Booklist
"Suarez's not-just-for-gamers debut is a stunner."--Kirkus Reviews
"Greatest. Technothriller. Period. Suarez presents a fascinating account of autonomous logic-based terrorism, incorporating current and anticipated technologies to create a credible and quite clever story."--William O'Brien, Former Director of Cybersecurity and Communications Policy, The White House
"Daemon is the real deal--a scary look at what can go wrong as we depend increasingly on computer networks."--Craig Newmark, Founder Craigslist
