Nerdsnipe time.
What was the first work of fiction to feature the World Wide Web?
I don't mean some 1950's sci-fi with pan-Earth info system. I mean a story with a character literally visiting "www. something" on a computer.
Any ideas?
@Edent I'm going to go out on a limb and guess either an X-Files episode or something for kids on PBS like GhostWriter.

@Edent I want to say Microserfs, but there's got to be a book that mentions the web before that.

@Edent I'm interested in the answer to your question but want to call out the 1909(!!) EM Forster short story, The Machine Stops, as being shockingly prescient about a world wide information network and the impact it has on life.
A must read.
