New York Journal of Books Reviews, "The Fear Index" by Robert Harris

Jan. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- New York Journal of Books reviewer Graham Storrs writes, "As the world’s financial systems crumble about our ears, it may be a good time to reflect on the perils of automatic trading. For all the rules and safeguards in all the stock exchanges of the world, isn’t it just possible that in a quiet office in London, or New York, or Geneva, a genius mathematician has developed an algorithm so smart that it can get out-game the electronic stock exchanges, so fast and complex even its designers can’t keep up with it, and so amorally reckless, that it would do literally anything to make a buck? Of course it is, and that’s why the premise of The Fear Index by Robert Harris is seriously creepy".

Mr. Storrs also praises, "The Fear Index is a solid, competent techno-thriller, carefully researched and intelligently executed. If you enjoy this genre—and who doesn’t now and then?—put this one on your to-be-read list"
