About the Book
The story
As AI rewrites the rules of finance, Wall Street faces its greatest threat yet — where today's technology becomes tomorrow's weapon. Set against the backdrop of New York's financial district, this meticulously researched techno-thriller fuses headline news with real-world AI advancements, telling a fictional story of a future that is all too possible.
On an otherwise quiet Tuesday, the stock market violently crashes, suddenly obliterating trillions in global market value. A threat arrives through encrypted channels with a chilling message: "Today we crashed the stock market. In 36 hours, our AI will crash it again."
As shockwaves from the financial meltdown reverberate worldwide, a diverse cast of characters finds themselves at the epicenter of the ensuing chaos: a hacker running from her past, a tech visionary racing against time to save his startup, a finance mogul facing a crisis beyond his expertise, and a washed-out academic who might just have predicted the whole thing years ago.
Fans of Michael Crichton and Daniel Suarez will be gripped by this high-stakes thriller's blend of scientific accuracy, pulse-pounding suspense, and chilling plausibility.
Critical Praise
What readers are saying
A chilling reminder of how much we all depend on technology, how hard it is to tell the good guys from the bad guys, and the potential consequences when AI takes on a life of its own. Had me guessing about how things would resolve until the very end.— Connie K, Amazon Verified Purchase
In the spirit of the great futurist novels, Coming Attack took me to the edge of my seat and more with a realistic look into what AI might serve up. Great characters, great pacing — a definite two thumbs up.— Zagarino, Amazon Reader
Couldn't put it down. Loved the basic premise — is AI here to help or destroy, and can we protect our critical infrastructures. Thought provoking.— Josette Mandela, Amazon Reader
