內容簡介

內容簡介 索耶再度探索了偉大概念與血肉之軀的交集。這次的主題是意識與知覺——在字面上以及象徵意義上，我們是何許人，又如何彼此看待。此書具思想深度又引人入勝，對於一部迷人的三部曲來說，是極佳的開端。——羅伯特‧威爾森，雨果獎得主，《時間迴旋》三部曲作者 唯一可與《時間迴旋》威爾森平起平坐的加拿大科幻作家 星雲、雨果、坎伯三大獎得主 加拿大有史以來最成功的作家之一 羅伯特．索耶，隆重登場！ 加拿大科幻獎極光獎英語最佳長篇 坎伯紀念獎決選入圍 雨果獎最佳長篇決選入圍 當網路有了意識，一切才剛剛開始…… 十五歲的凱特琳活潑好辯，喜歡閱讀，擁有絕佳數學天分。她跟所有女孩子一樣，愛跟朋友閒聊、討論男孩子，多數時間都掛在網路上。凱特琳的一切都非常普通，除了一件事：她天生全盲。 一封來自東京的email改變了一切。 凱特琳迅速動了手術，在視神經上安裝晶片，隨時都帶著能夠及時運算視覺訊號的新裝置，希望能夠像正常人一樣擁有視力。 但是，當種種顏色與不知名形狀在凱特琳周遭瘋狂開展時，她卻發現自己看見的不是真實世界，而是無形無狀的全球資訊網。換句話說，凱特琳能夠看見網路。 更奇怪的是，凱特琳在這個世界中發現了某樣東西潛藏在幕後，而且每一個小時都變得愈來愈聰明…… 本書簡介節錄自中文版《WWW.甦醒》貓頭鷹出版
