The Wake, Watch, Wonder (WWW) trilogy (First edition)

Wake: Caitlin Decter is young, pretty, feisty, a genius at math, and blind. When she receives an implant to restore her sight, instead of seeing reality she perceives the landscape of the World Wide Web-where she makes contact with a mysterious consciousness existing only in cyberspace.

Watch: Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer continues his “wildly thought-provoking” science fiction saga of a sentient World Wide Web. Webmind is an emerging consciousness that has befriended Caitlin Decter and grown eager to learn about her world. But Webmind has also come to the attention of WATCH, the secret government agency that monitors the Internet for any threat to the United States–and they’re fully aware of Caitlin’s involvement in its awakening. WATCH is convinced that Webmind represents a risk to national security and wants it purged from cyberspace. But Caitlin believes in Webmind’s capacity for compassion-and she will do anything and everything necessary to protect her friend.

Wonder:  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 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.
