  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;&#8220;One of the foremost science fiction writers of our generation&#8221;(&lt;I&gt;SF Site&lt;/I&gt;) comes to Ace with a trilogy of the Web&#8217;s awakening.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Caitlin Decter is young, pretty, feisty, a genius at math&#8212;and blind. Still, she can surf the net with the best of them, following its complex paths clearly in her mind. But Caitlin&#8217;s brain long ago co-opted her primary visual cortex to help her navigate online. So when she receives an implant to restore her sight, 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&#8212;some &lt;I&gt;other&lt;/I&gt;&#8212;lurking in the background. And it&#8217;s getting more and more intelligent with each passing day&#8230;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Wake by Robert J. Sawyer is a very intriguing book. I read the first 260 pages in one sitting. I read the last hundred pages quickly as well. Overall, I was shocked that Sawyer could keep my attention for so long without anything happening. Okay, some things happened, but this was a very low tension...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59854949">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It seems like I've read several books recently about artificial intelligence arising in/on the web -- this one is a cut above the others, and interlaced with interesting references to linguistic theory etc.  But it's really hard to write from the point of view of an emerging unembodied intelligence....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63914380">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I know that it's now the law for all SF writers to write series, rather than stand-alone books - but the thing I liked least about <u>Wake</u>, is that it ends in the middle of the story. Otherwise, it is a well-written book, with a very strong theme (communication) &amp; interesting characters (I really liked...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66015022">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great outting from Robert J. Sawyer. People might be put off by it definitely being the first of a trilogy, rather than a stand alone book, but I can't get enough of this guy so I'm fine with it. RJS has a real nack for finding an interesting subject, in this case, the emergency of artifical...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55845124">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the latest addition to my top 10 best books ever list.  Maybe it's because my Mom who passed away was blind in her last years, maybe because I love anything SF with a positive message, maybe it's just because I've been reading Rob's stuff since we used to show up at SF conventions in Toronto...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66358605">more...</a>]]></body>
