A Japanese researcher believes he can help a young girl who has been blind girl since she was born. A math genius who wants to see the world in which she lives, she and her family cannot help but hope that he can so they go to Japan. She does begin to see but rather than the world she envisioned she views the WWW. brain, fingers and Braille. This means starting with memorizing the alphabet and learning words one by one. It's a world she saw only through sources provided to blind people.

Learning what she can through the WWW she discovers an entity which she decides to help learn, too. Some books are worth reading again and this was one. I love the story, the depth and the imagination that the author put in this book.
