I would highly recommend them to everyone. The voice acting was great and I really enjoyed the story line. These books would make EXCELLENT movies. Has anyone picked up the rights to those yet?If the Darknet existed I would join it. I just finished listening to the unabridged versions of Deamon and Freedom from Audible.com.

I do think I'll pick up Freedom. Thanks for the recommendation. Just finished reading Daemon, mostly on flight and other parts of my trip to Sydney. I do think I’ll pick up Freedom.

An ebook just doesn't read that well. Thanks for your recommendation! I will buy the book and read it. Hard copy ;-) I am also a strong believer of hard-copy books instead of ebooks.

It's as if not only his books are thrillingly close to reality, but as an author he actually exists in our reality and has decided to interact with the readers instead of passively standing by hoping for good reviews. Even several times has he (when requested or spontaneously) discussed the topics of the books with me, and as a fan, I find that fricking cool! And - he has at the cost of some attention, a few copies of the books and postage, created himself a raving sales-person who will work for free promoting his books in the Baltics.However, Suarez' sensilla reach far and are sensitive, as he picks up on the smallest mention or link, and as if in passing thanks me for creating the facebook group I hadn't mentioned to him. It is really eerie almost as if he can see and keep track of everything, which as a private person I become very aware of if ever criticizing the books ('cause to be, they're no <em>Stephenson</em>, right? ;-) ).I would love to see how he has wrapped Google Alerts into this CRM on steroids, and I would love to discuss (and/or implement) some of the topics described in FreedomTM, I profoundly enjoyed that read as well:http://bambuser.com/channel/UncleCJ/broadcast/390080(for anyone interested, I keep a set of bookmarks particularly relevant to Suarez and his books: http://delicious.com/poquatelhar/daemon ) It’s ironic that Daniel (we’re pretty much on a first-name basis by now) of course will drop by and comment.
