Set in Geneva’s world of hedge funds and high finance, The Fear Index follows Dr Alex Hoffmann, a brilliant scientist who has created an artificial intelligence system capable of predicting market movements by analysing human emotions — especially fear. When an intruder breaks into his home, Hoffmann is pulled into a spiralling nightmare of paranoia, surveillance, financial collapse, and technological danger.
