    About “Daemon”

    A computer expert from Silicon Valley, who counted among the wealthiest men, is terminally ill. At the moment of his death, programs begin to run across the world, at first unnoticed.

    Soon it becomes apparent that a program is penetrating the networked world and spreading without anyone being able to stop it. The investigator Sebeck faces murders with no apparent connection, until a video of the dead man surfaces in which he claims the deeds for himself.

    How do you stop a danger that is everywhere at once? The first volume of the series “Die Welt ist nur ein Spiel” puts this question at its center.

    Who is “Daemon” for?

    This novel is for readers who enjoy techno-thrillers with a threat from the digital space. The story combines investigative work with the question of how vulnerable a networked society is. Anyone who likes fast-paced thrillers will find a suitable read here. The first volume of the series “Die Welt ist nur ein Spiel” introduces the world and its dangers and suits an entry without prior knowledge.

    When is “Daemon” the best read?
