The Fear Index by Robert Harris

Bleh. This wasn't bad--it's well-written, the pace is great and it's tense, if you don't know what's going to happen. Unfortunately i knew pretty early on what was going to happen.

I had hoped this wouldn't be a case of the dangers of evil AI, and we'd get an actual real-life culprit, but the likelihood grew more and more distant with each page. It's not that rogue AI is a bad hook, it's just a deeply, deeply predictable one. And that had me just waiting for the end. Quick read though.
