Each generation improves on the one that preceded it, based on selection criteria imposed by the environment. With cumulative evolution, you can go from gibberish to poetry—or from equations to fish, or even from slime mold to human beings—amazingly fast." He touched a key and pointed at the screen. "Here's a purely random 37-character string. Consider it an ancestral organism."
  Sarkar peered at the screen. "The tenth character has changed from E to D. In the target, the tenth character is a space—the space between 'where' and 'hell.' We're using a circular alphabet, with space as the character between Z and A. D is closer to a space than E is, so this string is a slight improvement—slightly fitter." He pushed another key. "Now, we'll let it run through to the end—there, it's done."
  Peter looked up. "You surprise me. I mean, well, you're a Muslim—I assumed that meant you were a creationist."

conversations.value: The advent of Webmind—a vast consciousness that spontaneously emerged from the infrastructure of the World Wide Web—is changing everything. From curing cancer to easing international tensions, Webmind seems a boon to humanity.
  But Colonel Peyton Hume, the Pentagon's top expert on artificial intelligence, is convinced Webmind is a threat. He turns to the hacker underground to help him bring Webmind down. But soon hackers start mysteriously vanishing. Is Webmind killing them before they can mount an attack?
  Caitlin Decter—the once-blind sixteen-year-old math genius who discovered Webmind—desperately tries to protect her friend. Can this new world of wonder survive—orwill everything, Webmind included, come crashing down?
  Webmind is an emerging consciousness that has befriended Caitlin Decter and grown eager to learn about her world. But Webmind has also come to the attention of WATCH—the secret government agency that monitors the Internet for any threat to the United States—and the agents are fully aware of Caitlin's involvement in its awakening.
  WATCH is convinced that Webmind represents a risk to national security and wants it purged from cyberspace. But Caitlin believes in Webmind's capacity for compassion—and she will do anything and everything necessary to protect her friend.
