As usual Harris is great in creating feeling of suspense without saying or showing much.
In this book Harris imagines what would happen if investment fund is run by AI. This fully autonomous AI is a brainchild of asocial physicist/computer programmer with some mental issues (even Harris could not escape from this cliche). This AI does high speed trading and makes lots of money.
But after upgrade to newer version, strange and scary things start to happen to programmer.
It is a fine fiction though little bit confusing. It is not clear if things are done by AI or programmer's deranged alter ego. Its scary.
