The following is book review by my individual (and editor program and owner of MAKE) Valley Dougherty. I worn out President's Day offline, finishing up Book of the Prophet Daniel Suarez's new, God. I'm back online twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval but I'm leery, restless, maybe even a little horror-struck. I'm looking at at my cell telecommunicate and my computing machine with mistrust.

The god seems to know everyone and what they're doing, partly because so little of what happens to us finds its way immediately online. A god created by a dead man is in control....
