Wonder, also calledWWW: Wonder, is a 2011 novel written by Canadian novelistRobert J. Sawyer. It is the third and last installment in theWWW Trilogy and was preceded by two sequels, Wake (2009) and Watch (2010).
Ever since the government has tried and failed to eliminate Webmind, Caitlin and her family have been thrust into the media spotlight. People are excited over what Webmind can offer the world, such as the cure for cancer and facilitating international relations, but others are also frightened about its potential for harm. The Pentagon still seeks to eliminate Webmind and has recruited some of the world's best hackers to destroy it forever.
Critical reception forWonder was positive,[1][2] and much of the novel's praise centered upon its "thoughtful "what if" scenarios".[3][4] In contrast, theNational Post expressed disappointment in the final book of the trilogy as they felt that the main flaws were "Sawyer's Pollyanna faith in the benefits of technology" and the insertion of several viewpoints in the book that they stated had an "eerie resemblance to the rankest propaganda".[5]
