Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer continues his “wildly though- 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.
This is one of those series that I am so glad has already been completely released. I cannot imagine having to wait on these books to come out one at a time.
Watch picks up right after the end of Wake. The American government is out to kill Webmind and it is up to Caitlin to stop them. I won’t give it away, but I loved the method that Webmind and Caitlin devise to save him.
China is becoming more and more a problem to its people. If Webmind is to promote the “net happiness” of the human race, what is to be done?
This is a great trilogy. I have book three, Wonder, on order. I can’t wait to read it.
