Warning: This is the third and final book in the series; please read the other two books before you read this book! I didn’t realize this until partway into the book, but thankfully, the author was fairly good at recapping the general gist of what was going on.

An Artificial Intelligence—or AI—is “born”, or really “emerged”, through a string of mutant packets on the Internet. One 16-year-old-girl, blind from birth, is the first one to “see” and make contact with this AI, whom she has named Webmind. Through a newly developed (and uber futuristic) device, cleverly called an eyePod, she has been given the gift of sight…and what she sees is webspace and an AI!
