Suspense | Mystery
At the nexus of high finance and sophisticated computer
programming, a terrifying future may be unfolding even now. Dr. Alex Hoffmann’s name is carefully guarded from the
general public, but within the secretive inner circles of
the ultrarich he is a legend. He has developed a
revolutionary form of artificial intelligence that predicts
movements in the financial markets with uncanny accuracy.
His hedge fund, based in Geneva, makes billions. But one
morning before dawn, a sinister intruder breaches the
elaborate security of his lakeside mansion, and so begins a
waking nightmare of paranoia and violence as Hoffmann
attempts, with increasing desperation, to discover who is
trying to destroy him. Fiendishly smart and suspenseful, The Fear Index gives us a
searing glimpse into an all-too-recognizable world of greed
and panic. It is a novel that forces us to confront the
question of what it means to be human—and it is Robert
Harris’s most spellbinding and audacious novel to date.
