Spencer reviewed Freedom by Daniel Suarez (Deamon, Book 2)
Review of 'Freedom' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Much of the same as the first book, but ties things up nicely. A little less dark of an ending, I guess. Still very violent / dark.

Freedom™, the sequel to Daemon, is the second of a two-part novel, by the author Daniel Suarez, about a distributed, persistent computer application, known as The Daemon, that begins to change the real world after the original programmer's death.
Much of the same as the first book, but ties things up nicely. A little less dark of an ending, I guess. Still very violent / dark.
After completed the second book in the Daemon series, I really hope there will be a third. This is a complete nerdfest; much like the first. It mixed elements of MMORPG’s in with the standard Thriller genre to make an exciting and action packed Techno-Thriller. Once again the Daemon has still got control of the world; but is this a good thing or a bad thing. Taking away the power of the few and giving it to the masses; will this lead to civil unrest or total war. All the holes in the first book seem to make sense now that I’ve read Freedom TM, I don't think it was as strong of book than the first; but they go hand in hand.
