Daemon

This book is a high-tech thriller about a computer application that threatens to take over the world. A daemon is an application that runs in the background and performs a function without human intervention when certain conditions are met. In this story, the daemon waits to see the online obituary of its creator, Matthew Sobol. Once seen, it begins a process of recruiting disenfranchised computer hackers and gamers and penetrating corporate networks to create a new world order. It's a fast-paced book which I nearly found exciting. However, I couldn't completely engage with it, leaving me feeling rather empty for having read over 400 hardcover pages of it.
