About: Demon Seed (novel)

Demon Seed is a novel by the best-selling author Dean Koontz first published in 1973 and completely rewritten and republished in 1997. Though Koontz wrote both versions of the novel and they share the same basic plot, the two novels are very different. The earlier version has a dual narrative - with some chapters written from the perspective of Susan, the story's heroine, and other chapters based on the observations of Proteus, the rogue computer.
