Oh I really enjoyed it. You want shadowy government agencies with scary scary tech with unlimited reach? Then this is the book for you.
I’m not sure yet what’s next maybe catching up on the change series. Idk. Plenty books for me to read.

It was pretty damn good. The sequel to Daemon which I’d read a few years before (which was good as well, and should have reread b/c while I remembered a lot of the plot points some of the flavouring had faded away) follows up as the Daemon, now fully entrenched in our computer systems, begins changin the way we live, and the old system reacts. There’s a lot of good in the book, The Burning Man aka the late Roy Merritt and the myth and cult that grows around him, Sobol’s quest, and again giving us a view of what corporations do to dispossesed groups (Farmers farming crops that are inedible until a copyrighted mix is added in). Loki is also well realized in this tome. If I have one complaint is that this is very America-centric, we get very little sense of what’s going around the west of the world or even north or south of the border (although there is an extended sequene in China).
