Daniel Suarez (born December 21, 1964)[1] is an American novelist, writing principally in the science fiction and techno-thriller genres.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Walter F. Parkes, who produced the 1983 film WarGames, had optioned the film rights to Daemon with Paramount Pictures in 2009,[3] but the rights likely reverted to Suarez in December 2012.

[4] Suarez announced in November 2011 that he was writing his third novel, "which deals with autonomous drones and next-gen, anonymous warfare" (via his Google Plus account).

[5][full citation needed] That novel, Kill Decision, was released on July 19, 2012.

[9] His most recent novel, Critical Mass (2023), deals with the near future effects of asteroid mining and the privatization of space, and is the second part of a trilogy that started with Delta-v (2019).
