Add to basketThis book is new and never read. However, it has what I believe is a printer's defect. It appears excess glue was applied to the spine which lead to a ridge 1/4" out from the spine where part of the covers were glued. Otherwise as new. ; Second in the WWW Trilogy, signed by author on title page. ; WWW; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall; 336 pages; " Blind from birth, Caitlin Decter received the gift of sight with the aid of a signal-processing retinal implant. The technology also gave her an unexpected side effect - the ability to 'see' the digital datastreams of the World Wide Web. And with the Web, she perceived an extraordinary presence, and woke it up. " It calls itself Webmind. It is an emerging consciousness that has befriended Caitlin and grown eager to learn about her world. But Webmind has also come to the attention of WATCH - the secret United States government agency that monitors the internet for any potential threats. "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. . . "; Signed by Author.

Campbell Memorial Award (which he won in 2005 for Mindscan).
In total, Rob has authored over 18 science-fiction novels and won forty-one national and international awards for his fiction, including a record-setting ten Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Awards ("Auroras") and the Toronto Public Library Celebrates Reading Award, one of Canada's most significant literary honors. In 2008, he received his tenth Hugo Award nomination for his novel Rollback.
His novels have been translated into 14 languages. They are top-ten national mainstream bestsellers in Canada and have hit number one on the Locus bestsellers' list.
Born in Ottawa in 1960, Rob grew up in Toronto and now lives in Mississauga (just west of Toronto), with poet Carolyn Clink, his wife of twenty-four years.
He was the first science-fiction writer to have a website, and that site now contains more than one million words of material.
