Sawyer, who submitted his first story to a sci–fi magazine when he was in grade ten, is now one of the most influential sci–fi writers in the English language, the only Canadian to win the world’s three top science–fiction awards. In Wonder, the third in Sawyer’s WWW trilogy, a 16–year–old–girl guides the evolution of the Web into consciousness. Sawyer talks about technology, artificial intelligence, and the future of ideas with Wayne Grady, Canada’s pre–eminent science writer and author of Technology, a thought–provoking discourse on the human reliance on machines.
