Condition: Very Good. Caitlin Decter is young, pretty, feisty, a genius at math - and blind. Still, she can surf the net with the best of them, following its complex paths clearly in her mind. When a Japanese researcher develops a new signal-processing implant that might give her sight, she jumps at the chance, flying to Tokyo for the operation. But Caitlin's brain long ago co-opted her primary visual cortex to help her navigate online. Once the implant is activated, instead of seeing reality, the landscape of the World Wide Web explodes into her consciousness, spreading out all around her in a riot of colors and shapes. While exploring this amazing realm, she discovers something - some other - lurking in the background. And it's getting more and more intelligent with each passing day.…

Condition: Good. Jake Sullivan has cheated death: he's discarded his doomed biological body and copied his consciousness into an android form. The new Jake soon finds the love that eluded him when he was encased in flesh - he falls for the android version of Karen, a woman rediscovering all the joys of life now that she too is no longer constrained by a worn-out body. But Karen's son sues her, claiming that by uploading into an immortal body she has cheated him out of his inheritance. Even worse, the original version of Jake has taken hostages on the far side of the moon where he had been consigned to die, demanding the return of his rights of personhood. In the courtroom and on the lunar surface, the future of uploaded humanity hangs in the balance.…

Condition: Fair. Two minutes and seventeen seconds that changed the world A scientific experiment begins, and as the button is pressed, the unexpected occurs: all seven billion people on Earth black out for more than two minutes. Millions die as planes fall from the sky, people tumble down staircases, and cars plow into each other. During that time, everyone's consciousness is catapulted more than twenty years into the future. At the end of those moments, when the world reawakens, all human life is transformed by foreknowledge. Was that shocking revelation a peek at the real, unalterable future, or was it only one of many possible futures? What happens when a man tries to change it, like the doctor who has twenty years to try to prevent his own murder? How will the foreknowledge of a part of then affect the experience of the now.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Sixteen-year-old Caitlin Decter was born blind. But, thanks to an implant in her head, she can now see the real world--and also see webspace, the structure of the World Wide Web. There, she's found a nascent consciousness, which she's helped bring forth, letting it, too, see the world for the first time. The consciousness takes the name Webmind. Caitlin's parents know about it, and so does WATCH, a secret US government agency that monitors terrorist activity on the Web (violating civil liberties as it does so). Caitlin is convinced that Webmind is benign, but her parents are afraid the public will view Webmind--which can now crack any password and read everyone's email--as Big Brother. Caitlin discovers that WATCH is on to them. She figures the best way to protect Webmind is by having it prove its benevolence to the world by eliminating all the spam from the Internet. But Caitlin's boyfriend accidentally reveals the secret of Webmind's structure to WATCH. Armed with that information, the government tries to wipe out Webmind. Caitlin travels into webspace, helping Webmind overwhelm WATCH's computers by redirecting all the billions of intercepted spam messages at them. Webmind really is trying to help humanity, but Caitlin knows that they've only bought a little time. The dark forces of the government--the real Big Brother--will try again to wipe Webmind out. But Caitlin is determined to triumph: she'll show them that her Big Brother can take their Big Brother. BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction written and read by author Robert J. Sawyer. …
