DESCRIPTION:
Particle physicist Jon Grady is ecstatic when his team achieves what they've been working toward for years: A device that can reflect gravity. This Bureau of Technology Control uses the advanced technologies they have harvested over the decades to fulfill their mission. Are smartphones really humanity's most significant innovation since the moon landings? Or can something else explain why the bold visions of the 20th century - fusion power, genetic enhancements, artificial intelligence, cures for common diseases, extended human life, and a host of other world-changing advances - have remained beyond our grasp? Why has the high-tech future that seemed imminent in the 1960s failed to arrive? Perhaps it did arrivebut only for a select few. The Nobel Prize. Instead, his lab is locked down by a shadowy organization whose mission is to prevent at all costs the social upheaval sudden technological advances bring. Grady expects widespread acclaim for his entire team. They are living in our future. Presented with the opportunity to join the BTC and improve his own technology in secret, Grady balks, and is instead thrown into a nightmarish high-tech prison built to hold rebellious geniuses like himself. Their research will revolutionize the field of physics - the crowning achievement of a career.

It can be Magic. Francis Zver Daniel Suarez has always had my interest with the technological thrillers that he's written. When I first was introduced to Daemon, it was an adventure that caused me to read the book in a very short period of time.In all his books, there's always been a hint of bleeding edge technology
