Cymoeba: Awaken
Jason, an Internet genius and the world’s richest man, dies in a traffic accident, attracting the attention of the NSA. As the investigation gains depth, John Jones, a high school IT teacher, slowly gains everyone’s attention with his mysterious background.
As Jones pursues his independent investigation, a top assassin stalks him like a shadow. During an intense escape from the assassin and a high-stakes tech war of hackers, a miracle that occurred three and a half billion years ago suddenly occurs again. Part of the Internet suddenly awakens and forms a unicellular life form called “Cymoeba.”
With Cymoeba devouring all types of computer devices, the whole Internet goes out of control and human society slides rapidly toward disintegration.
Can the truth be found in time? Can the mastermind be uncovered? Will civilization escape the breakdown of social order? As daunting mysteries intertwine with each other, Jones has to solve them one by one. Facing mysterious and powerful opponents, he fights back to save himself and an Internet-dependent world.

I really liked this book! I can't understand that so few people have read an reviewed it....
I love tech-thrillers like this. The plot is placed is near future where you find computer crime, viruses and accidentally created artificial intelligence. The writer obviously have done good research and know the technology.
I got assosiations to the environments found in William Hertling "Avogadro Corp", Daniel Suarez "Daemon" or Dave Eggers "The Circle"

The book is one of those near future things.
If you want some hard science, this might be the one for you.
To me, it alternated between interesting things - assassins and such and things which only scientists love - how organic matter is formed.
This slowed the action down to dissertation speed for me.
