Description
Caitlin Decter, a formerly blind sixteen-year-old math genius, desperately wants to protect her friend, Webmind--the consciousness that sprang from the infrastructure of the World Wide Web--but the Pentagon views him as a threat.
Media reviews
Webmind the essence that consciously evolved from the internet continues to prove its altruistic intentions of helping humanity on a variety of fronts like the cure for cancer. However, the American government pushed by the military-industrial complex wants Webmind destroyed under the guise of a

major security threat to the United States.
Having failed once to eliminate the A.I., the president invokes executive power to approve the Pentagon’s leading A.I. expert Colonel Peyton Hume to apply any force necessary to eliminate the threat to the security of the country. Hume directs his team of underground hackers to overwhelm and rip away the awareness of being of Webmind. However, his secure unit begins to vanish one at a time while Webmind’s BFF teenage mathematical genius Caitlin Decter vows to save the life of her buddy who gave her the gift of sight.
The third and final thriller in the WWW saga is an engaging climax to an intriguing story line. Action-packed, it behooves fans to have read the previous two entries (Wake and Watch) as the tale ties up seemingly every thread (major and minor) so that at times it feels PowerPoint deep. Still well written, readers will enjoy Robert J. Sawyer’s deep look at the Web age of American power in which leaders believe they need threats like Big Brother is watching you even when none exists.

Quite an imaginative story. I did like the characters and storyline and was enthralled to see what would happen. At times I found it a bit preachy, in that it was preachy about being a nonconformist, free spirit. But it still made some good points on both sides of many arguments. To me, though, for

Of the three books in this series, this one was probably my favorite. It had me guessing more than the others did, plus about halfway through the book, I couldn't decide which way the story was going to go. Webmind is threatened again. I was disturbed a bit by the sex-at-sixteen scene, feeling that

it was totally unnecessary to the plot of the story. That and the "coming out" of atheists seems to indicate a slight political agenda. I am not certain of the intended audience for the novels - being that the main character is 15 and 16 throughout the story, I might guess a YA audience, but the subject matter is heavy. Having taught the YA age group, I have had some students who would appreciate the novel, but not all that many that could read it and understand it. If that is indeed the target audience, I am disturbed even more by those two messages. Still, freedom of speech and all that. They're still great books. Show Less

Wonder” concludes Robert Sawyer’s trilogy about the emergence of a net-based artificial intelligence called WebMind.
“Wake”, “Watch” and “Wonder” are really three volumes of single book. The action of the book takes place over a few weeks and moves continuously from one volume to the
Like the preceding volumes “Wonder” is charming, heart-warming and crammed with inside jokes and references to both Science Fiction and life in Canada, where most of the novel is set.
There is enough of a plot here to keep you turning the pages but the author’s intent is not to thrill but, as the title suggests, to make you wonder: about whether human society becomes more moral over time, about the nature of consciousness and sentience, about the instinct for violence and the impulse for altruism, about people’s perceived need for a God, about atheism as a wide-spread belief but which those people who need a God can perceive as a form of Asperger’s and most of all about choosing peace and freedom over violence and domination.
If these things light up your imagination you will enjoy this book. If you’re looking for a high body count and high-tech conflict, pick up something else.
On the whole the book is successful. There are just enough surprises to keep the plot interesting. Young Caitlin Decter develops into a woman any of us could love and who embodies our best hopes for the current generation. The humour works and the contemporary references are deft and accurate.
From time to time, the speeches given by WebMind are a little long, but then, he is very young and perhaps we can forgive him for that.
For me, the optimism required to accept WebMind’s solution for mankind went a step too far. It would be nice but… perhaps I’m just too old and jaded to be open to those possibilities.
I would also have preferred not to have the epilogue. The rest of the story is in a tight timeline that we can all relate to. The epilogue takes place a billion years later. That’s too big a number for my imagination to cope with.
I recommend all three books to Sci Fi fans everywhere. I suggest you buy all three and read them without a break. I guarantee you will laugh, cry and even wonder a little. Who can ask for more than that?

'WWW: Wonder' concludes the tale of formerly blind Caitlin Decker, her web entity pal Webmind and their allies as Webmind continues to grow and expand his powers. But powers at the Pentagon, as well as overseas, aren't happy about it's existence, and may take action against it. Can they be stopped?
I have in general enjoyed the core of the story. The premise is interesting and kept me curious about where Sawyer was taking it. But man, there were so many instances in this installment where I shouted "Argh? What?? Bleh. No." and skipped pages ahead, because a scene was SO awkward, or SO over the top ridiculous, or otherwise so incredibly irritating I couldn't get over it. Did I really need to read about her mom awkwardly dressing her daughter down for sexting then giving her "the talk" about boys? No, I really, really didn't. There's just so many terrible, pointless, annoying scenes in this book, it almost ruins it.
But the story overall is rewarding. The conclusion is a bit too sappy, but there's an intriguing epilogue which offers some food for thought. So the book has that going for it.

This was the third and final book in the WWW trilogy by Robert Sawyer. It was a fitting end to the series, but not as good as the previous two books. Some of the characters act very against their character and some things are put in the book just to make a statement on something (without adding to
The virtual entity Webmind has been discovered by the US government and they have tried, and failed, to shut Webmind down. With Webmind's existence out in the open the big question is, what next? Caitlin and her family are naturally drawn into the media frenzy surrounding Webmind. The real question facing humanity is basically this: Is Webmind really benevolent or should measures be taken to shut it down while humanity still can? Humanity has some big decisions to make. Will Webmind survive or become just a blip in humanity's history?
There are a lot of good things about this book. Many of the seemingly random things that happen in the previous books all come together and, as a reader, we can see that this book was meticulously planned out. So kudos to Sawyer for thinking things out so well. As with previous books there are a lot of political and social issues discussed. Most of them focus on the questions of a spontaneous entity like Webmind and what his presence means for humanity. Of course other issues weave through this main issue: there is discussion on Atheism, Communism, etc.
Sawyer himself does an intro talking about how long it took him to finish this series (6 years) and how much technology had changed in that time. It is like he went out of his way to make sure this final book incorporated every little thing he could think of to make it as modern as possible. To that extent there is a lot of Twittering, Face-booking, as well as discussion about modern politics and references to companies like Google. There is even a Big Bang Theory quote in there from that popular sit-com (which I am a huge fan of). My only problem with this is that all these inclusions seem a bit contrived and forced at times.
My other complaint are some of the things the characters themselves do that are way out of character. The one that really floored me was when Caitlin decides to take a cell pic of her naked chest and sexts it to Matt. It has me laughing my butt off with the ridiculousness of it all. I mean really a girl as smart as her, who is inexperienced sexually just wouldn't do something like that. She especially wouldn't do it when she is incredibly aware of how easy that data is to access and how insecure it is. And she wouldn't forget to delete it off of her phone; enabling her mom to find it later. I know Sawyer makes a comment about Webmind making her phone secure, but come on...any idiot knows that kind of thing is stupid to do from a secure data and privacy point of view. Now you ask why was this included in the story? Like many of the weird random things included in this book it was so Sawyer could make a point about the end of Victorianism in an Internet based society. Sawyer takes a number of instances to lecture at his readers; sometimes it is interesting...sometimes it is just awkward.
The above being said, I really enjoyed some of the things Webmind does in this book. Some of them are really well thought out and almost make you wish you could live in that era and witness that kind of progress for humanity. Webmind's ultimate act of benevolence for humankind was intriguing, although I am not sure how realistic it really was. The story is wrapped up in a touchy, feely happy way that is as sweet as any happily ever after you have ever read. Sawyer includes an interesting epilogue that I am uncertain how I feel about. Some aspects of the epilogue are interesting, but I kind of feel like the book would have been better without it...that way the readers would have just been left to Wonder.
Overall this was an excellent conclusion to the series. The plot moves at a quick pace and many interesting issues are discussed. I was a little irked by the fact that the characters act out of character at times and there are numerous times where Sawyer takes opportunities to awkwardly lecture at his readers. These aspects made this my least favorite book of the three. Despite this, it was still an excellent read. I definitely recommend reading this series for anyone who has interest in artificial intelligence or emergent consciousness. This is a series that broaches these deep topics but makes them easy to relate to for a large demographic of readers. Having Caitlin as the main character really makes this book accessible to a young adult crowd as well and I think young adult and older would really enjoy it.

This is book three of the science fiction trilogy that began with WWW: Wake and WWW: Watch. The overriding theme is a Helen Keller type of story in which the previously blind Caitlin Decter (in the role of Teacher) helps facilitate the conscious awakening of an entity – Webmind - born out of
Peyton Hume, an Air Force colonel and Pentagon expert on artificial intelligence, wants to destroy Webmind before his powers (in fact growing exponentially every day) exceed human intelligence. Hume tries to reason to the President that even if Webmind weren’t initially hostile, he might become so in the future, and then could not be stopped. But no one listens to Hume; Webmind, thus far, has been nothing but benevolent and in fact has made positive contributions to mankind (which Webmind announces on his Twitter account). Hume determines to take matters into his own hands. Caitlin (cured of her blindness in the first book, WWW: Wake, by having retinal signals to her brain reprocessed by an “eyePod”), her parents, and her boyfriend Matt are just as determined to stop him.
Evaluation: In my opinion, the third book does not approach the quality of the first two. There is much less humor in this third book, and Caitlin, so smart and sophisticated in the previous two books, suddenly acts like the worst sort of teenaged naïf.
Additionally, the other books provide a great deal of fascinating background on the development of consciousness and different ways to ascertain intelligence. This book omits much of that. I’m guessing that Sawyer perhaps sees this volume as his last opportunity to have a character like Webmind – one who is pretty much all-seeing and all-knowing - pontificate on peace and love and dignity and equal rights and self-determination for all. And he does it a bit too much.
A more tightly edited resolution, in my opinion, would have been to skip right from Caitlin and Matt’s discovery of the wonder of love, to Webmind's Epilogue on the wonder of existence. That would have been a perfect juxtaposition, and we would have been able to avoid yet one more unnecessary speech from Webmind.
Note: Each book can be read as a stand-alone.
