Technically not SFF but close enough.
I ran into the genre name of this type of book recently but I cannot
remember at the moment. It is terrible getting old, I forget a lot of
things now.
The genre name fits quite well into the "Speculative Fiction" that
Evelyn Leeper replaced Science Fiction / Fantasy with.
The genre is thriller something. Maybe the word mystery is in there.

This particular example may not do so, but a lot of these can also be >>regarded as near-future SF because they use "tech" which doesn't exist
yet. Sometimes in action, sometimes as the MacGuffin.
The claim Leeper "replaced Science Fiction / Fantasy" with "speculative >fiction" is unmitigated nonsense for a number of reasons, not least of
which is that the first generally cited use of the term predates Leeper's >birth by three years.

In particular, it's _one_ piece of future tech in what is otherwise
the present.
