It's not you, it's me. I read one pf Mathew's books last year and really enjoyed it so I tried this. Comparatively, I found this to be disjointed and hard to follow. I'm a little thick in the head when it comes to multiple plots, so it's probably me not getting it. I won't give up on Mathew, but probably won't follow this series.So, I have to confess that I read Matthew Mather's books in the opposite order in which they were written. CyberStorm, which I read first, was well-executed and enjoyable, but primarily a solid entertaining novel. Atopia Chronicles is so much more that I found myself truly, truly impressed with Mr. Mather's talent. Not quite five-stars-impressed -- there are still some rough edges in the telling -- but this novel is far more than entertainment -- it's a parable, a warning, and a work from the
Preface: I swear on my mother's iPad that I did not read any of the reviews or quotes at Amazon.com before writing this review, so help me Bezos.Much has been written of how man and machine will interact in the future; whether it's Gibson's "Neuromancer", Stephenson's "Snow Crash", or any of a number of indie authors out there now.

I am not a huge Sci-Fi fan. While I have (thanks to some recommendations from my brothers) read a few Sci-Fi stories in the past, it's never been an area I was that comfortable in or drawn to.When I received notification that my pre-order for Atopia was in my library and ready for download, I was a little stumped; when had I ordered this? Why would I have? I read the synopsis and could see why I may have been drawn to it; dystopian undercurrents, with multiple narrators and points of view... The
Woah, pretty much a new season of black mirror. Things get dark and twisted in this story. I liked the concept but the disjointed stories made it hard to get attached. Pretty entertaining nonetheless! Good read.
The first few chapters of this book are essentially stand-alone what if stories of a future where virtual reality is the primary reality. Olympia Onassis is a stressed out marketing executive who uses her virtual reality to deal with her anxiety. Cindy Strong wants kids, so she and her husband Rick try out some virtual kids first. Vince indigo, trillionnaire and owner of Phuture News is doing his best to stay alive despite constant predictions of his death. These first 3 stories are very strong
