I just finished the audio book Daemon by Daniel Suarez and really enjoyed it. It is a technological thriller with a Internet-based villain. If you’re interested in Internet and computer technology and like a good, action packed read, this won’t disappoint. I don’t listen to many audio books, but I thought this production was a great way to consume this book.
