USA Today says you’re about to hear a lot about a techno thriller by Daniel Suarez. Daemon became an underground hit with “techies and bloggers” after it was self-published in 2006. Last April, Wired published an article about the book, which led to a two-book contract with Dutton. Most large libraries have it on order in modest quantities, with some holds (it had a starred review in Publishers Weekly).
It’s also available simultaneously in audio.
