"London, in the aftermath of the Infowar. Surveillance cameras on every street corner, their tireless gaze linked to an artificial intelligence system. Censors patrolling the borders of the Internet. A young woman murdered before the gaze of eager voyeurs. A policeman sidelined to a backwater department seizes on the chance to contribute to this high-profile murder case, but soon finds himself caught up in a web of intrigue. Why was Sophie Booths murder broadcast over the Internet? What is the link between her murder and London's new surveillance system? Who is the self-styled Avenger, and why does he communicate only by email? Whole Wide World is a gripping conspiracy thriller set in a world where information is the universal currency and some people will do anything to be able to control it."
