Caitlin Decter is a young girl who is blind - and has her own experience of the Internet through specially build web browsers.
One day, she gets an offer from a Japanese researcher to try a new, experimental procedure to at least partially restore her sight.
The procedure gives her a kind of sighted experience - see the entry for websight, also from the book.
