Fiction (techno-thriller) recommendation ...

[MarkNNelson]

Nothing Fastlane to see here folks, but I know we have a lot of techies running around here.

I just finished an enjoyable book, and I thought I'd pass it along. If you're into the topic of Artificial Intelligence, or the fear thereof, then you should check it out. It's called Daemon, by a guy named Daniel Suarez. The author seems to have some pretty legit IT credentials, and even though the book's a couple of years old, I didn't notice anything that made it feel dated (like references to that new i386 processor).

Enjoy!
