Techno-Thrillers discussion

The Daniel Suarez Challenge: Read any book by Daniel Suarez, or his pen name Leinad Zeraus—his first and last names spelled backwards.

Daniel Suarez is the author of Daemon, his 2006 debut novel of an internet virus that spawns a dystopian apocalypse, arguably channeling a bit of Mad Max in a modern way. He picked up the technothriller banner as the founding fathers seemed to be fading, and many fans say that Daemon and its sequel Freedom are their favorite wild ride in the genre. He’s given readers many hours of solid entertainment, and we’re waiting for someone to put his work on the screen. We also have our calendars marked for an upcoming 2027 release, continuing his asteroid mining series.
