Greengrass continues to be stated for that megaphone because the summer time, but it is only been confirmed, first by Harris themself, and subsequently by some Deadline fact-checking. Based on the blurb, Fear Index involves researcher Dr Alex Hoffman, that has invented an innovative artificial inteligence software that may perfectly predict stock-market fluctuations through monitoring human feelings (sounds a little just like a lower-level version of Asimov's psychohistory).
