The Web 2028 series continued the shared-world project that began with the 2027 books, expanding the near-future internet setting as the imagined timeline advanced. Multiple authors contributed volumes, each exploring different characters and aspects of the connected world.

For Baxter fans, these books represent an interesting footnote rather than essential reading. They show his range and his willingness to write in formats outside his usual hard SF territory, but the best of his work is elsewhere in his catalog.
