"When people call science fiction a literature of ideas, they mean
Robert J. Sawyer,"* the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of
the WWW trilogy, whose stellar imagination explores a thought-provoking
premise in this near-future thriller...
On the eve of a secret military operation, an assassin's bullet
strikes President Seth Jerrison. He is rushed to the hospital,
where surgeons struggle to save his life.
At the same hospital, Professor Ranjip Singh is experimenting
with a device that can erase traumatic memories.
Then a terrorist bomb detonates. In the operating room, the
president suffers cardiac arrest. He has a near-death
experience but the memories that flash through Jerrison's mind
are not his own.
It quickly becomes clear that the electromagnetic pulse generated
by the bomb amplified and scrambled Dr. Singh's equipment,
allowing a random group of people to access one another's minds.
And now one of those people can retrieve the president's memories
including classified information regarding the upcoming
military mission, which, if revealed, could cost countless lives.
But the task of determining who has switched memories with whom
is a daunting one particularly when some of the people
involved have reason to lie ...

Praise for the WWW Trilogy
"Unforgettable. Impossible to put down."
Jack McDevitt,
Nebula Award-winning author of Firebird
"A superb work of day-after-tomorrow science fiction
I enjoyed every page."
Allen Steele,
Hugo Award-winning author of Hex
"Not just an adventure story, Wonder is also (like its predecessors)
a starting point for speculations on ethics and morality,
the meaning of consciousness and conscience, and the place
of intelligence in the cosmos. This is Robert J. Sawyer at his very best."
Analog
"Cracking open a new Robert Sawyer book is like getting a gift
from a friend who visits all the strange and undiscovered places
in the world. You can't wait to see what he's going to amaze you
with this time."
John Scalzi,
New York Times bestselling author of Fuzzy Nation
"The thought-provoking first installment of Sawyer's WWW trilogy
explores the origins and emergence of consciousness. The
thematic diversityand profunditymakes this one of Sawyer's
strongest works to date."
