Book Description

Publication Date: 12 April 2012

The Internet has become sentient. The world's governments are terrified, it seems the evolution of a new intelligence might have left mankind behind. It is up to one blind girl, a maths genius, to convince mankind that this new digital life is not its enemy.

Perfect for fans of Charles Stross and Vernor Vinge this is a rich imagining of a future that may be just around the corner.

Product Description

Book Description

A superb near-future SF trilogy of an awakened Internet.

From the Back Cover

'A writer of boundless confidence and bold scientific extrapolation' (New York Times) concludes his mindbending trilogy.

The world is a better place. But not everyone is happy about it . . .

Webmind - the vast consciousness that spontaneously emerged from the infrastructure of the World Wide Web - has proven its worth to humanity by aiding in everything from curing cancer to easing international tensions. But the top-brass at the Pentagon see Webmind as a threat that needs to be eliminated.

Caitlin Decter - the once-blind sixteen-year-old math genius who discovered, and bonded with, Webmind - wants desperately to protect her friend. And if she doesn't act, everything - Webmind included - may come crashing down.

Even now that she is no longer blind, even with Webmind on her side, Caitlin has never felt more alone . . .

'This is Robert J. Sawyer at his very best' Analog

'Unforgettable. Impossible to put down' Jack McDevitt on Wake

'Cracking open a new Robert J. Sawyer book is like getting a gift from a friend who visits all the strange and undiscovered places in the world. You can't wait to see what he's going to amaze you with this time'

John Scalzi

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! A story of our time 30 Sep 2011
By Soleira Green
Format:Paperback
Wonder is brilliant from beginning to end. It's a story of our times ... where the internet births a sentient consciousness called Webmind whose goal is to increase the net happiness of humanity. It's everything I would want a birth of consciousness to be. It represents our time brilliantly as crowd sourcing becomes a beautiful collaborative way of creating the world anew. Go Robert Sawyer! You ROCK!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Guilty Pleasure to enjoy so much 17 May 2011
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Whilst to some Robert J Sawyer burst onto the scene with Flash Forward, he's has been a pretty close kept secret by readers of Science Fiction as an author of not only incite but one with a unique twist and flavour on the possible future that he sees. This is perhaps no more prevalent than in his World Wide Web series, of which this is the third concluding part.

What unfurls within is a story of hope, a tale of discovery and perhaps best of all a novel of character growth and development. Add to this Roberts pretty unique and identifyable writing style, great prose and a pacey use of story arc that made this not only satisfying but a tale that was hard to put down. All in, this title was not only a wonderful conclusion to this series but one that readers deserved as all too often many end up with the apocalyptic ending which not only depresses but really doesn't allow the reader to gain anything from it and when you add a clever look at how we're developing technologically which really brings to mind a reworking of a statement utilised by Dr Ian Malcom in Jurassic Park which would be "God creates technology, God destroys technology. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates technology..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonder 14 Mar 2013
By Brian Wootton
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very good final part of this trilogy, a great pity it is unlikely to happen in real life, can recommend reading all 3 parts in order to get the full impact of the whole idea of the author.
