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.

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 . . .
