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.

The premise is simple: breakthrough advancements in tech straddling the line between VR and neuroscience allows "immersers" to retreat to a virtual, personalized paradise, living the rest of their days in a simulated daydream. It would be easy to veer towards the cliche with a setup like that, but Rein's world is given surprising depth. I particularly liked the written interludes/diatribes from in-world characters (in the forms of published articles), which were surprisingly rich with character philosophy and highlighted some seriously good writing.
I listened to Youtopia on audiobook, and this is the only place where I have (minor) complaints. The author narrated the book himself, and while he does a perfectly acceptable job at reading the text, I found the reading to be flat. All characters were voiced the exact same, and it made it a bit difficult to track when the speaker switched mid-conversation. I listen to audiobooks on my commute to work, and I found it hard to hear the narrator well when driving on the highway (and simply impossible when driving in the rain), while I usually have no problems with other narrators in those same circumstances. Still, this may be just a quality of the author's timbre / tone of voice. Overall, expect this audiobook to be read to you, but not performed.
Overall, I found "Youtopia" to be an impressive and compelling sci-fi story, and the audiobook's weaker production wasn't enough to diminish my enjoyment of the story. I'll be looking forward to the next one!
Fascinating, thought-provoking, compelling

While the performance was fine there were a few spots where it sounded as though the audio had repeated itself or was overlaid on another track. Still that shouldn’t deter you. If you like a well written mystery in a fresh new setting, then pick this up!
Great Story!
