California Gold by John Jakes

Synopsis:
Winner of both the Arthur C. Clarke and Philip K. Dick Awards, Paul McAuley has
emerged as one of the most thrilling new talents in science fiction, acclaimed for his richly
imagined future worlds as well as for his engrossing stories and vivid, all-too-human
characters. Now he gives us a gripping and unforgettable thriller of the day after tomorrow
— when the world and the Web are one.

London, in the aftermath of the InfoWar. Surveillance cameras on every street corner, their
tireless gaze linked to a cutting-edge artificial intelligence system. Censors zealously
patrolling the Internet. A talented, young woman murdered before the cybernetic gaze of
eager voyeurs.

A policeman sidelined to a backwater computer-crimes unit seizes on the chance to
contribute to this high-profile murder case, but soon finds himself entangled in a web of
high-tech intrigue. Why was Sophie Booth's murder broadcast over the Internet? What is
the link between her brutal killing and London's new surveillance system? Who is the self-
styled Avenger, and why does he communicate only by e-mail?

Whole Wide World is a compelling cyber-conspiracy thriller set in a world where
information is the universal currency, and some people will do anything to be able to
control it…


Paul McAuley worked as a research scientist and lecturer in universities for twenty years
before becoming a full-time writer. His novels have won the Philip K. Dick, Arthur C.
Clarke and John W. Campbell awards. He lives in North London.
