Book discussion: What do you think of "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez?

The technologies described in the book are certainly not science fiction and well within our grasp at the present time, or achievable over the next decade. A question is how plausible is such an event scenario for the world we live in now, and the world of our children?

I liked the book. I got the audio version as a gift and listened to it on a long automobile trip. It is not boring and the technology is plausible.
