I loved the cyber thriller Daemon by Daniel Suarez. And this is the wonderful sequel. Of course, before reading Freedom, start with Daemon. The plot is a great mix of online gaming, good vs. bath, power of technology, Internet, hackers, global corporations, globalization and independence, or, in otherwords, Freedom. As I do not want to spoil the plot, just trust me and go for the 2 books and prepare yourself for a long week of intensive future diving and little sleep - it's too exciting. I look forward to the movie Whenever it wants to come out, it's going to be magic.
