Summary
A curious case of eudaemonia
Tron meets Inside Out in this funny sci-fi thriller.
When an ordinary guy’s implanted devices are reset after a construction accident that costs him his arm, the daemons in charge of his electronics are just trying to do their job as usual. But will they manage to keep their user happy and alive, when every bit of info they uncover becomes another part of a mystery, when it becomes clear that someone is framing him for murder and when a corporation is sending a snake charmer assassin after him?
Inspired by Aristophanes' Clouds (Nefeles) and a little bit of Inside Out, this fast-paced action-thriller delivers computer jokes along with an interesting tale of redemption.
"This humorous look into the Internet of Things is equal parts exiting and worrisome." (ScifiSelect)
Do you want to know what’s next for the poor daemons? Do you wanna meet the User? Then listen to a curious case of eudaemonia in this unique sci-fi action thriller.

Humans never read the manual.
" Humans never read the manual."
What a wonderful surprise: a thriller viewed through they eyes of not just a human being framed for a crime he did not commit, but also from the point of view of the various nanodeamons implanted in his body, working together to better serve their User. (A useful glossary at the end of the book explains that nanodeamons are computer programmes which run in the background silently controlling specific processes). His safety and well being is all that is important to them as, without his even being aware of them, they discuss and argue and lewdly peer at the world outside as they try to keep him safe. Often hilariously funny as they secretly interact and even bribe other such programmes to facilitate the User's escape, it really is a fascinating insight into what might be going on inside our bodies even without prosthetic parts.
Without a superb narration, this story would have been impossible but Luke Rounda is superb. From the opening lines ('Still no idea what I'm listening to' - how appropriate that was!) to their final 'Phttt', these squabbling, crazy, but kindly programmes are individually and brilliantly voiced to be not only distinctive but hilarious. With Rounda's interpretation, each becomes a seperately character filled being in it's own right. And the rest of the text is not ignored - perfectly paced with good intonation and understanding, with further different voicings for the humans.
Not only was it a good performance, it was very enjoyable.
Although the undertones of George Saoulidis' story could be sinister, Nanodeamons, instead, is funny as well as a good little thriller, expertly performed by Luke Rounda. I heartily recommend it to all S.F.fans, computer needs and anyone else looking for something just that little bit different.

A Cyberfunk story
I loved the play-style viewpoint and the idea that they have human-like emotions and personalities. The sections featuring the viewpoint of the nanodaemons were definitely the high points of the book. It was hard to understand the first part but it gets better.
