Superliminal is the first book in a (hopefully successful) series of stories about Dev Manny, an Information Technology Private Investigator (ITPI).
Manny is called in by local law enforcement to help uncover an explanation for the trashing of some computer equipment. A VHS tape is discovered in a PO Box and reveals a psychotic manifesto from the missing owner of the computer gear. He rants about a virus whose release could lead to horrific consequence for humanity. The police need Manny to get t...more

What a fun twist on the private eye genre! This book was a fun experience to read. Take Humphrey Bogart and make him tech-savvy... well, you get the idea :) Smooth humor, enough twists to keep your interest, and a very likeable protagonist. Nice because you don't have to be tech savvy or a computer genius to appreciate this mystery. With the exception of the technology, it reminded me of an old fashioned private eye tale.
I highly reccommend this book for a fun, quick read.
Great job Andy Kaiser!...more

Note: This book was received through a giveaway.
I liked the general concept of the book. The details are a bit wishy washy but I'm probably more picky than others because I write software as a job. If you're going for suspension of disbelief anyway then it's fine. The plot reminds me a lot of Snowcrash (or at least what I remember about Snowcrash).

Thank you Goodreads for the advance copy! I loved this book. It's funny, witty, and has plenty of character. This is a back pocket book (put it in your back pocket, you'll want to take it everywhere), easy read. I finished it in one day.Who knew computers could have mystery all their own!
I admit it, there were many moments where I LOL'd. Some elements of the story were too fantastic & a bit reaching and the ending was rushed... but as a general rule, I enjoyed the story. As a programmer by day, I admittedly chuckled over some of the ideas, but I still liked it. :)
This book was so much fun to read. The detective is funny, charming and smart as hell. There were some really good "oh my gosh" moments, and this author is fantastic. I am definetly a fan.
I won this book in the Goodreads contest. I must say it was a quick easy read. The story moved quickly and the characters were fun. I am looking forward to the next adventure.
Geeky, meh. Not a bad read, lots of IT in-jokes (including the heroes name). I read the entire thing, so the story was ok... but it's not a *must have* book...
