In Daemon, did you enjoy ...

... a relentless, mission-driven plot centered on technological power and disruption?

The Circle by Dave Eggers

If you loved the constant sense of pursuit and high-stakes objectives that drove Daemon—where Matthew Sobol’s posthumous digital schemes upend society—you’ll find The Circle equally gripping. Here, Mae Holland’s journey through the ever-expanding tech giant is a tense, goal-driven spiral as she’s swept up in a mission that could change the world, for better or worse.

... a diverse ensemble of hackers, agents, and operatives navigating digital and real threats?

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

If you enjoyed following a cast of hackers, journalists, and agents as they scramble to keep up with the Daemon’s machinations, you’ll love the sprawling ensemble of Snow Crash. Hiro Protagonist, Y.T., and a rogue’s gallery of colorful characters crisscross virtual and real worlds on intersecting missions, each adding depth and excitement to the cyber-driven chaos.

... morally complex characters who blur the line between hero and antihero in a tech-dominated world?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

If you were fascinated by the ethically gray hackers, mercenaries, and law enforcers in Daemon, you’ll be drawn to Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon. Just like the Daemon’s followers, Kovacs must navigate a world where survival often means compromising your morals, and every ally or enemy could shift sides at a moment’s notice.

... detailed, plausible technology shaping every aspect of society and plot?

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi

If the realistic depiction of advanced AI, cybersecurity, and technological manipulation in Daemon drew you in, The Quantum Thief will blow you away. Jean le Flambeur’s exploits are set in a future where technical detail is king—privacy, cryptography, and digital consciousness aren’t just window dressing, but central to every twist and turn.

... a lightning-fast plot full of unexpected twists and jaw-dropping reveals?

Lexicon by Max Barry

If the relentless pace and mind-bending reversals of Daemon kept you turning pages—like the reveal of the Daemon’s true purpose or the shifting allegiances of its followers—then Lexicon is a must-read. Every chapter packs a new shock as secret organizations use language as a weapon, and no one is ever quite what they seem.
