Cotlin Meeks is a teach-savvy computer wizard who cherishes his True Virtual Reality Helmet. This tool allows him to surf the endless expanse of the virtual internet, complete with interactive e-mail, video games galore, and much more. However, he's not the only one interested in this new world. His pet cat creates a mischievous alter-ego that allows her to participate with her master on his cyberspace adventures.
There is a bit of irony that the book is set in 2012 and they have virtual reality helmets and everything is done by computer. Instead, we have the power of the internet in the palm of our hands and we use it to look up cute cat videos.
