  • Daniel Suarez | Daniel Suarez

This novel takes us on a harrowing journey through the dark crawl spaces of the modern world, a world where a convergence of MMOG’s BotNets, viral ecosystems and corporate dominance are quietly reshaping society. Main character Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designer-the architect behind half a dozen popular online games. His premature death from brain cancer depressed both gamers and his company’s stock price, but he left behind something that was scanning Internet obituaries, too-something that put into motion a whole series of programs upon his death. Programs that moved money, programs that recruited people, programs that killed. Confronted with a killer beyond the grave, we come face to face with the full implications of our increasingly complex and interconnected world, one where the dead can read headlines, steal identities and carry out far reaching plans without fear of retribution.
