When a virus made to infiltrate a bank's system collides with their new AI, it inadvertently gives that AI a mind to think for itself. That is the general premise of System error: in your favor and it played out quite interestingly. I didn't know what to expect when I started reading, but it ended up going down a fun path. There was some unbelievability in the banks over reaching of power, and the author didn't do much digging into how hacker groups operate, but otherwise it followed a good story line.If you are in the mood to just sit back and watch a powerful computer system (with more powerful than currently available from a bank server) run away and do what it thinks is best for how it sees society, give it a read. If you get caught on things that don't fully make sense but are just there to push the story forward then you will want to pass on this one as there are quite a few "really?" moments. Overall it was a good read and a fun take on a computer than can think for itself.
