Story
Neanderthals have developed a radically different civilization on a parallel Earth. A Neanderthal physicist, Ponter Boddit, accidentally passes from his universe into a Canadian underground research facility. Fortunately, a team of human scientists, including expert paleo-anthropologist Mary Vaughan, promptly identifies and warmly receives Ponter. Solving the language problem and much else is a mini-computer, called a Companion, implanted in the brain of every Neanderthal. But it can't help his fellow scientist back in his world, Adikor Huld, when the authorities charge Adikor with his murder.

Publisher's Summary
But Caitlin's brain long ago co-opted her primary visual cortex to help her navigate online. So when she receives an implant to restore her sight, instead of seeing reality, the landscape of the World Wide Web explodes into her consciousness, spreading out all around her in a riot of colors and shapes.
While exploring this amazing realm, she discovers something - some other - lurking in the background. And it's getting more and more intelligent with each passing day.
BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction written and read by author Robert J. Sawyer.

People of Good earth...
What an adventure, full of twists and turns, one really feels a connection with the characters, so well informed and researched, not only a fictional story but also a learning experience , well done and cant wait to continue with the second book in the trilogy

Felt longer than it needed to be, and a bit frustrating.
I'm a longtime fan of Robert J Sawyer. Very much enjoyed other trilogies but I won't be continuing this one. Especially not on audible: not only was it challenging to listen to a robotic voice read out zeros and ones at length, but listening to characters mispronounce frequently used words like ASCII (here they pronounce it ask-key when the simplest cursory search would've shown it is pronounced ass-kee). There are also a number of plot lines that are never revisited or closed off in any meaningful way, and to some extent I can understand leaving room for sequels, significant chunk of time or devoted to these plot lines and they did not benefit the story at all. I also find a plot that depends immature and selfish on teenager logic to feel quite frustrating. I'm going to move on to a different author for a little while.
