Daemon (novel)

_stillmind: Daemon is one of my favorite books. Michael Crichton's Prey with robot swarms is cool too.

solomonb: Does it change your perspective on agentic systems like Openclaw?

jaynate: I think about this book often since Nov 2022. It’s a fantastic read.

ai_critic: If you haven't read this--and also Manna (https://marshallbrain.com/manna1)--you probably should.

wild_egg: Scenes from this book have been regularly coming to mind for almost 20 years now. No idea how it holds up for new readers today but it left quite an impact way back then.

surprisetalk: This book is soooo good!

tuzemec: I can recommend 'Delta-V' by the same author too.

busterarm: Good books.His recent work is great too. Also I've met Dan a few times at Defcon and he's a really great and interesting guy.
