Waking Gaia by Brian Richardson

 In the extremely near future at a university on the Central Plains of North America two computer scientists are working in collegial collaboration to create an impenetrable firewall to be shared by their home institutions. Their accidental discovery of what might be a factor that completely overrides the World Wide Network cause their clash on whether it should be further developed. Kamela Radha of the Watsonian Institute of Technology insists it be removed immediately, while Rupert Cantation of Henriette University where the work is taking place insists it be developed for possible profitability.

On the same campus, Inga Stennax, Eco-biologist, is seeking to present, on a wide scale, the current devastation to Gaia (Earth) in order to rouse the general population to pressure the corporate and government complex to cease their excessive exploitation of the planet. Inga recruits the poetic archaeologist Alan Meredici to help her.
When Alan and Inga rescue Kamela, who they do not know, from an assault they are faced with a stranger who has lost her memory. As she remains in their care Kamela becomes interested in their work on Gaia and in attempting to help them begins to assume the role of Gaia with surprising results that dramatically end the Anthropocene Age.
