Publisher's Summary

In the individual, virtual-reality-like mind space of Youtopia, “Immersers” can live in their own perfect world, but chaos ensues when an Immerser is murdered inside his Youtopia.

  • WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award – Best Techno-Thriller

~~~

FBI Special Agent Anabel Downer, one of the Bureau’s best, is assigned to the case. In her investigations of the mysterious murder, she interviews Youtopia’s staunchest supporters and naysayers, and gathers clues about the seedier sides of Immerser life.

Along the way, she encounters her own troubled past, and questions herself what is real. As the killer escalates his efforts, Ana must confront not only the hardest case of her life, but also her own demons.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first intriguing installment in the “Youtopia” series of techno-thriller/sci-fi/crime adventures, which, though fiction, seems all too possible in the real world...real soon.

Thought Provoking and Seemingly Real

I enjoyed this realistic account of a fictional world that seemed relatable in so many ways. When I learned that the author was also the narrator in the audiobook, it made so much sense to me when I found out that he is also a professor of academics. It explained his skill in speaking and communicating so well to me. Being from Ottawa, I had to convince myself that it wasn’t the former radio host and current mayor of Ottawa narrating, as the voice of the author sounded similar.
The world building in this story is very skillfully told and my imagination was easily coerced into believing that it could be a reality one day. The FBI agent, Ana, and the creator of Youtopia, Sonya, were awesome, and the way the author carried the story forward in such an intricate way with these characters (among others) was both intelligent and unique.
I highly recommend this book to fans of techno-thriller literature, and I look forward to reading more from this author. At the end of the audiobook, the author posed questions to be discussed by potential book clubs. Wow! What a cool idea. I am still thinking about what some of my answers would be. Well done, Mr. Rein!
