He is an idiot, ignore him.

Those books just didn't match the mental picture I had of you, is all.

Have you tried George RR Martin's Game of Thrones series.

Its a hard book to summarize so i will just say that its about AI, gaming, computer networks, and internet technology. It is a cyber thriller written by a first-time author who works in the technology field. According to those in the field, which i'm not, they say that his scenarios are generally very plausible and he is technically accurate.
I have to say, some of the scenerios got a little too much toward the end and the ending really pissed me off until i read that there is a sequal to it, 'Freedom'. Overall, i enjoyed reading this book. If you are a gamer and/or a tech geek you would probably enjoy this book.
Edit: Here is an overview of the book i got from one website....

The sequel to Daemon. It wrapped up the complete package. I found it an interesting story and an easy read. It is far fetched about stuff that can technically happen. Also, it probably boarders on conspiracy theory about a corporate run world, but it was entertaining. You have to read both books if you want the complete story.
ethiostar;3831566 said:Its been a little while since I read Daemon. Do you think i need to skim through it before i start reading Freedom? or does the author tie the story line well enough (retrospectively) in this one that i wouldn't need to skim Daemon?

If You like H. Bosch from Connelly, try... Robert Crais (English writer, centres around a detective Elvis cole and his friend Joe Pike) Good stuff.
Also Try Lee Child... Not deep but his main Character Reacher is fascinating.
There are a couple more excellent reads but author names escape me at the moment. ( I will look them up and return later)
ethiostar;3852509 said:Thanks fjones, I have the names written down and i will look for them the next time i go to the book store. I have heard about both authors but haven't read any of their books.
Between Crais and Child, who do you like better?

Very good books. I really couldn't put them down. There are some rough, graphic portions, but all in all a good story.
