Been meaning to track down a copy of Daemon. But another book that is fairly technically accurate is Little Brother by Cory Docotow. It was a scary read in how plausable the events could happen and play out.

Not really. Geeks invent time travel. I didn't really care for it.

Also it allows more CYA aspects.

In a group of 3, 1 person makes a mistake that is a 33 1/3% failure rate.
In a group of 30, 1 person makes a mistake that is 3 1/3% failure rate.

So the group of 30 is more successfull.
