Daniel Suarez - Daemon

Daniel Suarez - Daemon
Format: Kindle

Heard about it via the Triangulation podcast.

I have read about 1/3 of it so far.  Lots of very technically accurate descriptions of internet technology.

It's like Dungeons and Dragons with Internet.

It makes me wonder if the author has not got some future writing Interactive Fiction.  It sounds like he'd be very good at it with that background.  It seems to me the technology is at a stage now where you could write different outcomes depending on the reader's choices. (e.g. protagonist lives, protagonist dies, protagonist opens a pet shop in Doncaster and lives happily ever after).  It seems to me a former Dungeon Master would be very good at that kind of thing.
